Promotional materials for WOM, arrived in our inbox and we had to share this bizarre, rocking egg chair with our readers. Designed by Barcelona-based firm, Lapaka, WOM is all about creating an intimate space and promoting experimentation. While WOM rocks, its shape and counterweights will keep it upright...










Maybe this is just the last few nights experimental theatre talking, but I dig a chair that tries to create an experience, rather than just being visually engaging and functional. Who am I kidding, I've been looking for a giant egg in my living room for months. (although how surreal fantastic would more than one wom in a room be?.... say half a dozen?)

I love the look of it, but the person inside doesn't look particularly relaxed or comfy.

it's a furniture version of a weeble-wobble, no?

I was joking above - I hate it! The idea is fine, but the scale's so screwed - that thing looks incredibly uncomortable, the innerspace essentially non-functional. Had they made it a bit larger, so she could comfortably squat inside it as if it were a big pod, it would be cool, particularly with the patented Weeble stabilization effect, but in that image, the thing seems like a total non-starter. Even the shape - that etiolated ovoid - is unappealing.

hot if you're under 16.

not a good photo to use.
and the WOM imprinted on the egg [can be seen in the Core77 picture] is awful.
not hot.

I like it. I think it would be a blast to sit it. In a different color i could totally see it in my house!

I'm not a baby, so it's been a while since my body just automatically curled into that position. Not hot.

It looks awkward and uncomfortable. Just not for me.
