RelaxOne is the kind of chair you wouldn't get off of even if an old lady sits right next to you. Of course, this ultra immersive music chair is not to be found in public transportation. Once you're sitting in the chair, you'll hear and also feel the music throughout your whole
body. You will probably feel better after listening 10 or 20 minutes of music. Soon after you start to hear some strange voices in your head, you'll know that you had to much of this cocoon-music experience. Even at a low volume, you'll feel music (and sleep) slowly surrounding you. Its natural acoustics sound will also make you feel peaceful and totally immersed in an ocean of sounds.

Despite its future cyborg egg appearance, the thing is robustly functional. The plexiglas and casted polyester gives it the toughness of a garbage can. It's "unbreakable" all right, but there's no way you could hook an iPod to it.

Relaxone features 2 speakers (3 ways, co-axial, 35 Watts, integrated crossover, 25-25'000Hz) and a 7 inches TFT-LCD. The system can function on low-tension 12 volts direct current. It can be powered by an external transformer. It has an 85 cm diameter, 150 cm to 210 cm in height and it weights around 15 kg. So, there's no problem if you're eager to immerse in it outdoors. It can even work with solar panels. It can't be easily slung over your shoulder though. Anyway, the chair doesn't look as good outside as it does inside.

The chair can act as psychologist divan, an individual micro concert-hall, a docker for computer play stations or a comfort and recovery "station". If you're not a Bubble Club sofa owner, you can actually feel in your element inside this.
