Chair Design

So I been doing some research for my pattern project to apply to furniture. I came across this page about this weird looking chair that is actually supposed to be for hugging... It looks funny but I guess you could use it for other purposes as well like resting a laptop on there or a drink or magazine, etc.

I thought this was a clever and convenient design and looks pretty comfy too if you were to just sit in one spot for hours and keep working on something on a laptop.
