It's finally out on the market. Behold the hovering chair! We can at last literally float the stress away in the new unique suspended lounger. In fact that's its name, "The Lounger". The British company Hoverit Ltd. has recently presented a chair that can act as a bed as well, which defies gravity by floating on a set of permanent magnets, just a few centimeters above the surface of the ground.

The company's website does not offer very much detail on their newest product, and if you think about it really hard, there is nothing really to present, its just a chair floating on a pair of magnets. It can be custom build in order to satisfy the customer's requirements, comes with an anti-scratch mat, it is easy to move since the base sits on a set of wheels, is designed by the companies engineers with the latest CAD software, and is in a limited edition. So hurry up and buy one! You can order one by applying a subscription on the manufacturer's web page.

The unique piece of furniture is supported by two side pillars, in order to keep the floating bit in position, is made out of transparent acrylic material, and - best of all - you can see every constructive detail. I would order one myself, but the British company seems to have avoided to specify the approximated price of the futuristic piece of furniture.

Furthermore, as the website of the firm states, recent studies have proven that magnetic fields can have a positive effect on the muscular problems, could ameliorate headaches and, none the least, it looks and feels good. It seems that Hoverit will reveal its innovative design in about two months at the Ideal Home Centenary Show, which will take place in the Earls Court of London.
