The Inspiration Chair looks more like a ball-stuffed chair but compared to the usual bean bags which can change shapes when sat on, this one makes use of a suction feature to help it maintain its figure.

While the chair does seem like an offbeat chair to sit on, you have to admit that it does make sense. At least compared to the bean bags which normally get wrecked through time when the fillings start to come out and create a mess, the suction feature allows you to inflate (or deflate) it when needed.
