As its name makes clear, the Yolk chair is directly inspired by the delicate, delicious, cholesterol-filled center of eggs, but while the chair is as comfy as eggs yolks are tasty, it certainly isn't delicate (it's unclear whether the single-person sofa is filled with cholesterol). Designed by Ji Eun Kang, the playful seat is both cozy and durable, serving as a great spot to sit and read a book over a breakfast of sunny-side up eggs.
The Yolk chair has no legs, so the foam blob sits directly against the ground. The bottom of the chair is covered by a smooth wood surface in lieu of legs, allowing the chair to swivel freely and give the sitter a 360-degree range of motion. Though yellow, the upholstery is a pleasingly mustard hue that should blend nicely with modern design tendencies.
