But if your hell bent on getting the egg chair I really can't help you. I've only seen them in movies and the actors always seem to sit naturally in them. I would see if you can try before you buy.
A companion of mine has one, and we will quite often, after a late night port session, end up reclining and sleeping on the thing! It is just soo comfortable!!
I would also reccomend this!!
That's a complete rip-off from the original Alvar Aalto -designed "ballchair" by the way

You're considering to buy a £500 design chair and asking for opinions on that a gaming site forum. That tells a story itself.

$900 for a chair? Are you fucking serious? Go grab your kitchen chair and sit in that, don't be a little ***** and moan about it. If it's good enough to eat in then it's good enough to game in.
If you really can't stand it that much then walk to your local crap yard and grab the least stinky settee you can find and you're set.
900 fucking dollars, pfft.

Dude? My computer cost $3700, it's not a gaming chair, it's just a chair, relax mate. I'm not even sure why you're getting so annoyed. Also I'm not sure where I've complained in the thread.The Unworthy Gentleman said:
I'm well aware of the fact that it's a replica. What is the underlying story that this tells? That I'm an idiot for thinking gamers might also be interested in design?BENZOOKA said:
(Allow me to correct myself: it's actually designed by Eero Aarnio. Another Finnish renowned designer.)ResonanceSD said:
Just thought to mention it in case you didn't know.
It's just an interesting choice to ask it here, and actually it's refreshing to the thousands of ME3 (that some of us don't care one bit about) threads as well as to the reoccurring usual threads. And it creates discussion as we can see here, and it's all good. But the story I myself perceived that you're wealthy enough to consider such a purchase and then ask opinions on here, where one can't have too much weight on your conclusion, if there isn't a considerably more attractive similar product presented, as it is simply more about whether you want it or not.
Personally: it's a bold place to sit in. You're inside it, acoustics are different. I'd feel the need to sit on the edge, partly outside of it, if I were having a conversation, because it just feels unnatural. Alone, I guess it would be kinda comforting, listening to music or watching something, but that would require the room to pull your legs in too and get a strange but comfortable position. On the other hand, it's a conversation maker; on another, it's a very demanding piece to go along with other furniture and so on. Not that it matters so much, as practicality and the rule of cool go beyond things like that.

First of all, I'm glad to be the one providing a respite from millions of "Hey Zeel, come and yell at us some more" threads.
Anyway, allow me to reassure you, I'm not going out to brag about my fabulous wealth, or attempt to show off in any way. I'm waiting to get Grillz and bling and..wenches? before I do that. Also because I don't have the aforementioned fabulous wealth. I'll actually rephrase the question in the OP.
Regarding the chair itself, the rule of cool is very much in effect here, I'm redesigning a room to be more minimalist, the idea is, when I'm not gaming, I'll be watching a movie on my PC (triple screens, natch) whilst sitting in this chair from across the room, with wireless headphones providing the noize.
>_>' or something, that's what I'm going for, anyway. If the room starts looking like Dr. Evil's lab, then I might have to change it.
Already ruined because there's no way on Earth my PC could be considered minimalist.
I could never bring myself to partake of those chairs, even if they were free. I'm too damn tall and too damn wide.
Personally I think you're foolish to spend that much money on one but I'm not about to try and talk you out of a decision you sound like you've already made.

Well I haven't made the decision yet, it's just one I was looking for feedback on. Given that this is the internet, I figured that I'd get the maximum amount of criticism on every possible detail, which I wouldn't get from other people. *checks comments*, yep, looks like I was right.
HELL. FREAKING. YES!!
Of course I'm one of those weird people who would also want this...well never mind I can't find an image...Chair-within-a-chair if you've ever seen it on Oddities.

Yeah there's an option to get this upgraded with speakers. It's another $200 :\Fawxy said:Dude, get one of them sphere-chairs that has built-in speakers.
They are sooooooooooooooo awesome. I sat in one at a Sharper Image store a few years ago and it changed my life.
CAPTCHA: face the music.... DO IT
It looks nice, but I really couldn't justify spending anywhere near that amount on a chair.
So no, unless you're insanely rich.

If I had the money I would go straight for the Emperor workstation.
