Designer Michael Malmborg created WING Lounge Chair, a reincarnation of the classic wing chair, created for the future. This recliner is made for serious cocooning and is the closest you can get to weightlessness.
The upholstery in the Wing Chair is made by open cell visco elastic memory foam, developed by NASA and used in all spacecrafts. The foam adapts to your body shape and temperature leaving you in cosmic comfort.
WING Lounge Chair is the first and only chair ever to be certified by The Space Foundation – tested and recognized by NASA. WING is also the biggest single piece of bendwood ever used to create a chair.
Matt Miller created Cyma coffee table, an unusual piece for which the first reaction is a mix of confusion and attraction. That is not surprising - no one has done something like this before, it defies common sense.
The unique construction for supporting the fully tempered glass top, also creates it’s beautiful appearance. The smoothly bent legs are the inspiration for the name - Cyma is the ancient Greek symbol for "S-shaped wave form".
Gravity usually makes things fall to the ground. But in this case gravity is used to hold the glass top in its place in a surprisingly new way. The weight of the glass tighten the legs grip, no other attachments like screws are needed.
Michael Malmborg it the author of another fine piece, Moduluxe sofa. It is created a sofa for people who want a contemporary piece with a strong presence, but also a relaxing place to dwell. Despite its architectural lines the level of comfort is very high. By using memory foam that adapts to your body, LYX turn a modern square sofa into a blessing for your body. And it does not only adjust to you physics, but also to you taste and requirements.
Zig Zig chair has no beginning and no end. The design concept is the same as when you write a complete sentence without lifting the pen – in a circle! This serpent inspired lounge chair almost forces the spectator to examine it closely. And despite it’s abstract look, it’s quite comfortable.
The strong aluminum alloy frame and a thick layer of supporting foam perfectly balances the weight of anyone who dares. ■
