Lounge Chairs for the Space Hulk

Even though I am planning on packing up most of my stuff and leaving New York next year, I still keep thinking I'd like a new easy chair for the living room. Something nice enough to keep with in storage even as I move around. (More on that in a few months!)

Two have caught my eye over the last couple of weeks. Sadly, neither have had prices listed, which means they will be far out of my reach. Come on IKEA knock-offs!

The DS-166, designed by Hugo de Ruiter, is said to make those who sit in it "feel most profoundly." I just like its space lounge good looks.

The Lobster Chair [right], designed by Lund & Paarmann, is less plush, but the segmented walnut veneer over the back is striking. Eames by way of Giger.

If anyone lives in Europe has a few thousand dollars with which to buy a random blogger some furniture, I'll be happy to provide a shipping address. (Please do not touch or even look at any of the chairs before shipping, as I have a debilitating fear of psychic dustballs being caught in between the folds of cushions. This is why all visitors to my apartment must stay in the fraternization chamber.)
