The Cocoon Armchair is a comforting piece of furniture designed to be use in both public and private places. This unique chair is designed to give everyone from road-weary travelers to office workers a place to relax.
The Cocoon Armchair was created by a Russian designer sporting the name Tompson Tompson. The Cocoon Armchair looks like a droplet of water and is designed to seat one. The bottom of the chair is padded and the backrest is made up of pillows. The stem of the chair is actually a reading light designed for those using the chair at home. Perhaps the most awesome feature of the chair is the ability to zip it up and enclose yourself inside. This feature would be especially great for travelers looking to get some rest without having to worry about the prying eyes of everyone else in the airport checking them out.
