reddot design winner 2007, Sonic Chair gives a new meaning to surround sound. Resembling the infamous Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio, Sonic Chair has an updated function, speakers to accomodate your iPod, laptop, stereo system etc. The speakers are encased in a body that creates sufficient volume for powerful bass tones, while a specially developed body-focused sound membrane serves as backrest and further augment the lower frequencies. I imagine it would be akin to sitting inside your earphones. Elegantly designed for a sensory experience, the Sonic Chair comes at a hefty price of EUR 5850. Available in four colors.
