After a hard day's work, what would you give to sink into a super comfortable chair? $14,400 will get you this version of the classic wing chair. It is upholstered with "open cell visco elastic memory foam, a material developed by NASA and used in all the spacecrafts".
The foam molds to your body's contours and you might just be able to imagine weightlessness as you nod off. This large chair is also covered in soft Swedish leather.
It is apparently "the first and only chair ever to be certified by the Space Foundation, tested and recognised by NASA."
Now wouldn't it be heaven if airline seats were like this?
