Don’t be fooled by the rather unique design of the “Sitting Bulles” as this seating system takes the art of lounging seriously. Inspired by conventional medicine balls, the outdoor furniture system is made of transparent polyurethane balls and has been designed by french designer Marie Galoyer. The transparent balls can be easily connected through a central capsule  with a  clipping mechanism.

One way to beat the freezing cold is to get a chair with an inbuilt heating system. French designer  Thierry Fischer has cleverly built a seating system around a fireplace which really warms the cockles of my heart and  most likely my body as well. The Heating System is a full-fledged seating solution and has been ergonomically designed as well.Too bad it is still a concept as I see a market for this.

Minai Seating by Dirk Winkel

As far as the standard hard plastic mono block chairs are concerned, they are really standard means of alternative chairs in use today. We often see then in events such as parties or even take the place of the usual dining chairs today. But while their main purpose of providing seating is there, you can tweak it a bit to come up with a one of a kind design as well.

Add a little bit of leather upholstery and the whole design will be changed in an instant. It is really something that can mislead people into thinking where this chair came from. Well you can always I just designed it myself. Now who would get the credit right?
