This Pierre Paulin Ribbon chair, sure is one of the most unusual pieces of furniture on the market, but also maybe one of the most comfortable. By all accounts, it fits to body posture very well and will provide a pivotal centre piece for your lounge.

Whilst it would make a fab Christmas present, you’re gonna need deep pockets to afford the £2,745 ($5,490) at Atomic Interiors...

If you’ve got bags of money and want a blow away sound system look no further than these Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus Speakers. These babies are design and engineering classics.

image

“Nautilus emerged from B&W’s University of Sound R&D facility after five years’ painstaking development. Briefed to stop at nothing in the quest for a perfect loudspeaker, our engineers arrived at a set of drive units whose tapering, tubular enclosures spirited away every trace of internal resonance.”

At £45,000 ($88,000) per pair, Nautilus Speakers are pricey and you’re still gonna need one stereo preamplifier and eight mono power amps, all hard wired into your hi-fi system. But what glorious music you will play for there are few speakers in the world that will surpass these beauties!!!

How about this beauty for a book worm. It’s called the Bookinist Chair and is the height of convenience for book folk.

image

Retails for £1,460 ($2,920) at Flujo who say:

“The Bookinist chair from Nils Holger Moormann is the perfect chair for the mobile bookreader at home. It’s original design, and ability to be wheeled around the house, make it fun and practical at the same time.”

I love the mobility aspect of this product - if only it was motorised!!!

The Freewheeler Speaker is cutting edge technology that enables you to listen to music without needing huge speakers.

“Created in collaboration with designer Ron Arad, Freewheeler is a cordless stereo speaker wheel that can be rolled around, indoors or outside. Made of high-quality lacquered wood, it has the unique quality of generating a high quality stereo sound from one component instead of the usual two separate elements.
