Bean bags are a familiar site in homes or even in schools.  But in the office? It is not actually a far-fetched idea.  Maybe the boss has one inside his office where he can sit and relax if he suddenly decides not to use his thinking chair.  The bean bag then serves as his “relaxing chair”.  Yet in some offices, most especially those with modern designs, bean bags have easily found there place as it now takes the place of chairs in the setting.  It can be used as chairs in the weighting room, or even in the lounging room where employees relax and engage in a light conversation.  Though it may seem odd to have one, bean bags have evolved into different sizes and forms, why, even a whole couch can be made into a bean bag! So will a bean bag fit right into an office?  Sure it will. After all, we are living in the modern age, aren’t we?

Sofa beds are good to have around, since it can also be treated as a space saver.  We can place this in our own office, or even put it in our living room.  This comes in useful when we have guests who need to spend the night in our homes. Just pull out the bed from the sofa, and in an instant, our guests have something to sleep in. So instead of buying an ordinary sofa, people might consider purchasing a sofa bed because of its two-fold purpose.

The designs of these chairs ensure that the correct sitting posture is maintained and less weight is given to the spinal cord, and more pressure on to the seating area. There are chairs that come with mesh back, so that there is flow of air at the back and this helps preventing sweating while sitting down on the office chairs.

A person who has a desk job on a computer has to spend quite a lot of time sitting down and does not necessarily have sufficient exercise thus the stress / pressure given to the back will be quite high. Thus having an ergonomic chair will help the person relax even though having to sit in the same place for quite some time.

Well how would it be if you had a bench that could convert itself to two chairs. Well thats just what these guys have done. They have gone ahead and made detachable benches. When it is a bench, you can sleep on it, or put it in your garden to have a relaxing moment with your loved one, if you have guests visiting you, this can provide you with that extra furniture to allow that person to sit.

You can arrange the individual chairs in such a way that you can give a coarse look on the edges or you can give a smooth edge finish. This is indeed a very creative and a well thought out idea.

Also called a dish chair or moon chair, this neat seating option is ideal for dorm rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, and even outdoor use. The base and bowl are typically made of rattan (a type of palm), however outdoor models are produced using iron.

To share the love, Pier 1 also carries a double Papasan Chair in an oblong shape.

Urban Outfitters is many a young person’s go-to destination for skinny jeans and raunchy coffee table books, but the opportunities don’t end there — visit a large store (or the website), and you can buy the coffee table as well!

Let’s take a look at some of our favorite urban Outfitters pieces:

Haruki Slat Bench
Whether you’re looking for a place to sit or simply to store the aforementioned raunchy literature, this Urban Outfitters bench is sure to oblige. We love it in front of the couch in the living room, against the wall in the entryway, or even at the foot of the bed.

Treat your tush to something fabulous with this chunky chair in tweed. Stick it in the corner of a room as a classy accent piece, or plant in front of a desk to get down to business.

Antoinette Fainting Sofa
Light-headed urbanites will love this cotton velvet piece, exclusive to the UO website. Once you recover from your spell, we recommending customizing this piece with pillows and throws of your liking.

CoolThings.com posted about a beer keg barstool yesterday on April Fool’s, but we don’t think this boozy piece of furniture is anybody’s joke. Said masterpiece is formally called the KegStool, and you can order one for yourself at www.KegFun.com.

For $99, you get the KegStool kit, which includes everything except the titular keg and some necessary elbow grease. If you’re lazy (or drunk), you can save yourself the hassle by ordering a pre-built KegStool for $100 more.

The writers at CoolThings lamented the KegStool‘s lack of functionality, but we think it’s still pretty neat.
