Tie 1-On Modular Bean Bag

 

Ever dream of having the whole apartment filled with bean bags or have couches that are replaced with bean bags? Well, since bean bags are very comfortable and the chair adjusts to you comfort, Milan’s furniture designers created an actual bean bag couch and it is very comfortable indeed. The bean bags are designed in squares and it ties together with the bean bag chair or ottoman to another bean bag forming a loaf seat, stretch lounge, couch or a stretch lounge with a table in between. So throw out your old couch and bring it let the bean bags take over. You can also bring this furniture gadget on a camping trip if you wanted to since it is light and portable.

The bean bag is weather friendly and it is covered in heavy gauge, water proof polyester with a protective PVS lining. The corners of the bean bags are tie 1-on’s in a black nylon web strapping. So basically, all you have to do is tie the chair to one another and it forms a couch or you can even put an ottoman in between the stretched lounge. The bean bags have a zipper closure so you are able to change Styrofoam if needed.

The bean bag cost from $99.95 for the ottoman and $199.95 for the chair. Sadly it only comes in the colour red. Hopefully other design and colors are produced and it will look great indoors and outdoors. The bean bag furniture is available for purchase at CB2.

Equilibrium Bookcase by Malagana Design

 

In my spare time I prefer to play football, go fishing, or play on the Xbox, however for many reading is their pleasure.  This furniture gadget is for you and is ideal for displaying your books in a unique appealing way.

This furniture gadget is called the Equilibrium Bookcase and you can see why after viewing the picture. The bookcase has been designed by Alejandro Gomez Stubbs from his studio Malagana Design.

This aesthetically pleasing modern bookcase relies on modules positioned at specific angles to distribute load and provide stability. The stability is provided by the steel joints between each of the modules ensuring all the weight is directed towards the centre of the unit.

The bookshelf is 6.5 feet high and 2 feet wide with a depth of 15 inches, more than enough to accommodate a variety of book sizes. Finished in a walnut veneer the bookcase is capable of holding 120lbs in weight of books between each of its five individual cube bookcases. Three colours are available, white, celeste blue, or graphite, however custom colors are available by request.
