Comfortable Tomato Chair by Eero Aarnio
Eero Aarnio is well known Finnish furniture designer, who has been the founder of usage plastic material in industrial design. His Tomato Chair designed in 1971 confirmed his designer's reputation as a master of inventing new forms, seeming extraordinary and very complicated, but very comfortable for the human body. Due to the smart construction with two large rounded armrests and a comfortable back the chair is very stable. The material of Tomato chair and its stability allows using the chair right on the water! The name of the chair reflects its appearance: if you’ll look at the chair from the front there are two circles just like in the word tOmatO.

'<3 Side Table' with Two Legs by Jonathan Sabine
If you want to change your awareness of the stability, then you should take a look at the '<3 Side Table'. Nowhere else you will find a table with only two legs and there should be no doubt of its stability. Technically it is possible due to bent tubular steel leg with the two points contacting with a floor. Except its extraordinariness, the table is so elegant and light, like a performing a rotation ballerina, elegantly and coquettishly bending her leg. As a result the table is asymmetrical and its outward appearance depends on view angle. The designer of the table is Jonathan Sabine from Toronto.

Multifunctional Furniture Badac by Sang A Choi
It is very profitable to have multifunctional furniture in view of economy of space and comfort. But what we knew about such furniture earlier has nothing in common with what Sang A Choi has invented. Korean designer has managed one piece of furniture - Badac - to combine with functions of four different furniture items that are crafted into eight pieces. Each piece can be detached from the general construction, when necessary, and can be used independently. So the Badac is the perfect solution to someone who lives alone or in a small area room. Like a transformer, it can be turned upside down, allowing you to use it as a shelf, a lamp, a coffee table and two seats. Turning several parts or excluding some of them from the general construction, Badac can be transformed into a single bed or a large seat. On top of that it is a perfect piece of furniture for your fantasy, which will certainly allow you to come up with even newer purposes for it.
