Above, you see a design concept for a Space Invaders-themed couch. It is a beautiful thing constructed using glass, leather and awesome. Though not in production, this piece by Igor Chak absolutely should be.
I'm in the process of moving, so furniture is something that's at the forefront of my mind at the moment. Were my situation different, if every couch, chair and bed weren't tinged with the thought of having to actually pick up and carry it somewhere, I might want this bad boy more. As it stands, I already want it pretty badly.
It also looks startlingly uncomfortable. Chak says on his website that this is not the case, as it's lined with memory foam, but I still have a hard time believing that. It is sleek and sexy, however, and that could make all the difference.

It's so stylish. And alienish.
: )
I'll sit like a boss on that chair!
Oh and, is that thing somehow a limited offer?
My bad...
It looks great, but...
- In other words I will have it for myself, thanks, goodbye.
