Bean bags get a bad rep and some even find them tacky. However, if done right, bean bags can also look good in a room and the trick is to opt for solid colors and an understated look. Take for instance the Elite Omega Faux Suede Bean Bag, which has the trappings of all great lounger chairs and will look good in any space. Upholstered in faux suede, the bean bag includes head rest, side pocket and even ergonomic support. The Elite Omega Faux Suede Bean Bag is available on Staples for $139.00.

The design field is flooded with modern chairs that are unique and funky. The Kurt Chair is also fulfills both the crier mentioned above. Designed by Bernhard-Burkhard, the deck chair challenges the user since it needs a wall or some sort of support to stay still. Now why someone would go through all the trouble is beyond me but it does add to the cool quotient.

Yu-Ying Wu, a Taiwanese designer, creates a new Tofu Chair based on the traits of a real tofu.  The Tofu chair turns into a super-comfy chair once your guest sits in it then turns into a block of tofu when not in use.

I see some great applications to this type of Tofu Chair designs, especially there’s also some “breathing” room for air to pass through.  I would really like to get one, can I order it now please?

The “breathing chair” looks like a piece of white, square tofu. Wu said that the chair is made of high-density foam plastic that is 100 percent environmentally-friendly. There is a “trick” behind the design of various sizes of holes in the chair – based on professional calculation of the spatial structure, the tofu-shaped chair, coated with three layers of foamed plastic, can “automatically adjust” according to the weight and posture of the person sitting on it.

Chair Design – Tofu Concept Chair that Mimics a Real Tofu!

The best part of the home is where you can relax. Just in case you don’t have that luxury, maybe you can integrate a device to help you attain it. The 4 Senses Lounger by Schletterer is one such recreation lounger worthy of superlatives. This pod-shaped sci-fi lounger is a combination of sound, scent and light with soft vibrations in order to affect the four sense (hearing, smelling, sight and touch).

The technical concept of the 4 Senses Lounger also comprises music played by synthesizers, sounds of nature and special instruments. A special positioning of tweeters and woofers create an ultimate experience. The spa lounger will set the perfect ambiance for a rejuvenating experience in the confines of your home.

And it has no special requirements for installation and maintenance; simply plug it in and relax. You can personalize the colors and surface materials to complement your decor.

Check out this cool table,which unfortunately still is a concept. Not only is this table legless but also has been made of rigidified cloth (resin). Don’t you love it when people think outside the box?

A Corner to Hide may just be a Sofa Concept for now but hopefully that won’t be for long. Edouard Simoens is the brain behind this concept, which looks extremely comfy.

I like this concept of where you go, your chair follows! This foldable cardboard stool can carry a person who is up to 90 kg (that’s roughly 180 lbs)and provides respite from those dirty public benches! According to the manufacturer no glues and chemicals are used to set up the stool.

This is a great way to carry a portable chair with you everywhere as it doesn’t weight that much and also saves the environment over portable steel chairs and whatnot.  What a great idea, I want one.

No this is not the latest bed from IKEA but an art piece from the exhibition “Come Up To My Bedroom” at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Love the concept, though I am sure the commitment phobic folks out there wouldn’t appreciate this bed trap!

The Bed Trap

Plants are known add-ons to our homes and while they do spice up any room today, we tend to overlook them especially if they need watering. Now what if you had a plant pot that can remind you and give them a piece of their mind in a manner of speaking? Then perhaps you will no longer forget to water them eh?

Such is the concept of this Pet Plant Pot which uses a digital LCD display programmed to show you what a plant needs. It may sound geeky but it does help remind you of something especially if you are too busy to notice that your plant is drying up and ruining the room ambiance in the process.

The Daydream table looks like an ordinary shabby chic coffee table but it hides multiple trap doors for included vases that can go on top or down below – depending on your needs. Nothing I dislike more than being lazy on a Sunday afternoon on my couch with a bunch of vases blocking my view. Instead of angrily pushing them all to the floor, now they’re neatly tucked away. Out of sight, out of mind.

Most of us cant afford mansions and always running out of space. The “Space Book” seeks to rectify this  unfortunately its still a concept. I love how designer Jin-Hui Kim executes his concept and the possibilities are limitless when it comes to its actual usage.

The concept is quite simple. Why do you need to consult interior designers when you can project the beauty of your home furnishings by placing them magnificently and ideally. So now you know why interior designers are against IKEA today.
