There’s something awesome about comfortable chairs, in which you can spend hours reading, working or simply chilling. This concept chair integrates a blanket into an all-in-one comfy package, allowing you to take advantage of its cuddliness.

The Autumn/Winter Chair was created by Polish fashion designer Aga Brzostek. The cover of this chair is like a big jumper, which is one of the reasons why it has sweater-like functions. It’s perfect to use as a cozy place during chilly winter nights. Hard foam was used for the structure of the chair. The seat and backrest were covered in softer foam for even more comfort.The cover is made from reclaimed wool to help keep you warm and toasty.

The cover is adjustable and removable, allowing users to change the look of the chair to their own preferences. It’s even got a handy pocket for holding magazines or books.

While this is still just a one-off concept piece, I suppose you could always ask your grandma to knit a similar cover for your favorite chair, but that could be quite the undertaking.

HiCan Gaming Bed: You Can Sleep with Your Games – Just Don’t SLEEP with Your Games

Video games can be addictive. I think anyone who’s played a particularly engrossing game can attest to that fact. I’ve been guilty of staying up until the wee hours of the morning playing my RPGs, and I only forced myself to kick the habit after showing up to work looking like a zombie in the days ahead.

That said, the HiCan Gaming Bed is definitely a fun, fun gadget for gamers who have money–but before anyone gets it, all I can say is they better have a lot of discipline. Otherwise, they probably won’t be able to get any sleep when they’re lying down on this bed.

Gaming BedThe bed comes with an HD projector and a high-end built-in computer that’ll definitely amp up your gaming experience several notches. Aside from that, the bed is equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system, as well as a reading light and a full media complement with a game and entertainment console.

Sounds like a dream come true, right? It’s perfectly real, although the bed’s price tag will probably burst your bubble: it’s priced at $52,000 (USD).

Gaming Bed1

Yeah, that’s a huge ‘game over’ for a lot of us. Should you have the resources to afford such an extravagance, you can contact HiCan for purchasing information.

Sensei: 2 Chairs, 1 Table

Furniture that can be transformed into other pieces of furniture isn’t exactly new. I think the idea was inspired by the fact that most of us are cramped for space in our homes, and convertible furniture seems like a good solution to that. It’s not always done well, but the Sensei is one of the few that is executed almost seamlessly.

Not only is the Sensei a table, but it’s also two chairs as well. The catch is, it can’t be both at the same time; you have to choose between one or the other.

SenseiAs two chairs, the Sensei features an asymetrical, futuristic design with a backrest that’s only supported on one side. If you’ve got enough stools to go around the room but not enough tables, then flip the chairs over to their sides and interlock them like so. The black and white cross at the center, forming a sort-of yin and yang right down in the middle. Once chairs are aligned, just push them together to close the gap in the middle, and voila! You now have a coffee table!

Uruguayan industrial designer Claudio Sibille, however, explains that part was accidental, since the Sensei was the product of “random geometric shapes” that he was playing around with on AutoCAD.

Sensei2

It’s an extremely elegant design, but unfortunately, it’s only a concept for now, with the Sensei you see here being a prototype that Sibille created of his design.
