The Chairbag by Ami Kealoha
With the portability of an inflatable chair, the groovy shape of a beanbag, and a water-resistant surface, Amsterdam-based PS Lab's debut product, the Chairbag, is just in time for summer lounging. As if all those features and the bouy-inspired design aren't enough, the PVC chair also boasts a vanilla scent—a first in furniture, as far as we know. Available in red, blue, black, silver, and white, the Chairbag runs €169 and comes in a convenient black carry bag (pictured, after the jump), which makes it perfect for camping or trips to the beach. Though currently only available in European stores, PS Lab has plans for an online store.

Mud Furniture

Attitude Chair by Deger Cengiz
New York designer Deger Cengiz's elegant standard chair features an extra pair of hinged legs that swing into place when the user tilts backward. While he's not the first to come up with the idea (see Homer Simpson's similar version in "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace"), the finished chair bears the quality of timelessness rarely found in such gimmicky conceits. Apparently inspired by ill-tempered...

Indeed, his unusual 2007 project in the Zaandam industrial zone in the Netherlands consists of conjoined geodesic domes that don't look like cages at all. But, these spaces, designed for playing sports, prevent soccer or basketball players from escaping; the users are inmates. Starting with the...
