Japanese design firm h220430’s whimsical Balloon Bench isn’t exactly traditional. But it looks a whole lot more fun to sit on than your average sofa—even if the balloons aren’t real. Or, have some drinks and pretend you’re floating.
The bench’s trick is a little less graceful than actual levitation—the plastic “balloons” would have to be bolted into your ceiling to support your weight. And I’m not so sure how comfortable a bench made from aluminum would be (quick guess: not very). But still—I’ll trade comfort for looking a little more awesome the next time I sit down. [h220430]
