The first chair ever to be certified by The Space Foundation / NASA.A reincarnation of the classic wing chair, made for the future. This recliner is made for serious cocooning and is the closest you can get to weightlessness. The upholstery in the Wing Chair is made by open cell visco elastic foam, developed by NASA and used in all space crafts since the 70s. The foam adapts to your body shape and temperature leaving you in cosmic comfort. This is probably the biggest single piece of bend wood ever used to create a chair. It’s covered in thick layer of superb Teak veneer. Design: Michael Malmborg, I/IDSA

The MAXELLE Chair does 0-60 in 2.7 sec in the spectators mind, making it the fastest chair on the market. Stream lined for beauty and comfort, Maxelle can be parked and admired in any environment; indoor or outdoor. The propelled shape of this fiber glass chair is not a coincidence – it’s designed by Harald Belker. After working for Porsche and Mercedes Benz, Harald moved to Hollywood and has created famous pieces like the Batmobile and futuristic vehicles in movies like Minority Report, Armageddon and Spiderman. Maxelle is his first piece of furniture. Design: Harald Belker
