Here is something a little more from the dark side. Not to be overly gothic, I was simply fascinated by the unique aspect of H. R. Giger and his artistic creativity. These chairs may look a little like the set of Alien and that's because his work on the set and creatures won Giger an Oscar in 1980. Giger who first studied architecture and industrial design ventured into interior design in1966. I particularly like the Elegant Black Chair ($2250) for its more mainstream design as his collection can get very far out. Also shown is his Marbelized Harkonnen Chair that is more indicative of his specialized flair ($13,500). Galerie Morpheus International which specializes in works of the "fantastique" has many of Giger's production and wants to expand the awareness of quality contemporary furniture.
When it comes to really getting smart about your health, and using furniture products that can aid in total comfort there are some awesome chairs on the market. I have done previous stories about the Stressless line from Ekornes and I still believe they make a super product. The Zero Gravity chair is another product that has real benefits to relieving pressure from the spine. I heard about these chairs for years and finally went to try them out and did not want to leave the store. I felt very at easy as the chair tilted back to elevate my feet and level out my body taking the load from my spine and allowing my heart to work less. Back Saver and Perfect Chair are two companies making these zero gravity chairs and I highly recommend you take some time to sit for a while. When you go try them, give your body at least 10 minutes to feel the benefits.
