The AirSeat – Inflatable Chairs with Sex Appeal, Whatever Next?

Let’s be honest here, inflatable furnishings have never exactly oozed major appeal in the design stakes – or at least they didn’t until now. And in this respect the Swiss made AirSeat seemingly manages the impossible – namely by being the sort of inflatable seat you might actually want to be seen using yourself rather than just inflating whenever your mother pops round (its always entertaining to watch anyone trying to use an item of inflatable furniture in a moderately dignified fashion, don’t you think?).

Not only does the AirSeat look unusually good but it has been designed to be utilised in a number of ways, either as a recliner with a handy inflatable foot rest or as a standard seat whereby the inflatable footrest serves to keep the seat in the prone position. Also, in being waterproof and buoyant, the AirSeat could just possibly be the most comfortable pool accessory in the world (although, unlike this previously featured motorised pool lounger, it doesn’t come with its own onboard power plant).

The AirSeat measures 86(H)x95(D)x106(L) and retails for a cool ¥68250 (which equates to $561 / £281 / €415) for which you’d at least expect a canister of designer air with which to inflate it.

(Thankfully, if you can’t quite stretch to this monetary outlay you can buy these somewhat smaller designer chairs at a fraction of the cost.)
