Norwegian furniture manufacturer Hødnebø has designed a laid-back chair called the Spinnaker.
While the chair may not look like anything special, there's actually a traditional sailor aesthetic to its design. The seats are covered with authentic sails and the backs are sculpted in traditional sail-making way. With cospoflex cushions and a tilted angle, the Spinnaker will drift you away in a sea of comfort in your very own home.
