Placentero Chair: I am Not Making This Up

"Placentero chair"
Velvet Cushion

"The 'Placentero' chair is designed by the young Argentinean designer Batti. It's made from eco leather (white, red, or black), the outer sphere plastic surface is a slick cool-grey fibreglass shell. The Placentero aims to mimic the experiences of the human beings have before birth. Placentero chair is only found at PID.Se."

Upsides:

• Looks cool
• Costs 30,000 Swedish Krona (a little upward of $5,000 USD), so it's 'foreign' and expensive (unless you live in Sweden)
• It uses "eco leather" so it's actually green, although it looks red, white, or black

Downside:

• Seems to be exclusively for use by the young and flexible

This is actually rather good design, although I have this mental picture of me, under an overturned "Placentero" chair, with my arms and legs sticking out.
