THE CHAIR THAT NEUTRALIZES GRAVITY
Elysium is a chair like no other, it has taken 14years of scientific research, meticulous design and medical expertise to make the most technologically advanced, supportive and luxurious chair ever created.
Designed and built to neutralise gravity it is also the only chair in the world where body position can be controlled by a simply hand gesture, allowing the user to experience a feeling akin to weightlessness. According to the chair’ s official website, there is a spot between lying and sitting up when your weight is evenly distributed and your body passes through zero gravity.“ This results in sensory attenuation is the principle of flotation therapy and can help with reducing pain from sciatica and other back problems.”
Created by DavidHugh Ltd in Cambridge, England, the chair at first glance resembles that of a dentist’ s chair but the carbon fibre skeleton at the chair’ s core, paired with the milled aluminium mechanisms and stitched leatherwork has resulted in chair that may be the closest us earthbound folks will ever get to knowing what it feels like to float in space.
Handmade at a workshop in Cambridge, UK, the Elysium chair is limited to just 20 chairs priced at a staggering £ 20,000 each. The Elysium is currently on display at the Bang & Olufsen flagship showroom in Knightsbridge, West London.
