#1 Avant-Garde Armchair from Dmitry Samygin

Well, well, well, if it isn't the avant-garde armchair by Dmitry Samygin! This piece of furniture is a real head-turner, and not just because of its Rubik's Cube-meets-modern-art appearance. No, no, no, it's also because of the cool and puzzling vibes it gives off.

This chair is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it's also super practical. You can thank Samygin's dedication to humanistic design for that. He's all about making furniture that's comfortable and ergonomic, so you can sit your tush down for hours without feeling like you need a chiropractor.

And let's not forget about the Bauhaus influence. This chair is all about abstract, geometric aesthetics, which is a fancy way of saying it looks really cool!

#2 Giant Red King Crab Sculptural Chair from Design Toscano

Oh, my crabness gracious! If you're a true ocean or beach enthusiast or just love these majestic decapod crustaceans, then hold onto your shell because we've got something clawsome to show you!

Introducing the Giant Red King Crab Sculptural Chair by Design Toscano. This chair is not your average seating option; it's a functional piece of art that'll have everyone doing a double-take.

Weighing in at a whopping 116 lbs, this chair is built to last. Made from fiberglass-reinforced resin and hand-painted to perfection, it looks so real, you might even be tempted to dip it in butter and squeeze some lemon on top. 

#3 Kirchoff Armchair from Latitude Run

Sure, it may look a little intimidating at first glance, but with a soft cushion, you'll be sitting pretty in no time. And if you're feeling a little tense, a skilled chiropractor on speed dial might not be a bad idea.

But let's talk about the real issue here: spills. You can spill all the red wine you want on this chair without fear of ruining it. Yes, you read that right - no fear of permanent damage! But we can't say the same for your poor carpet, so drink responsibly, folks

#4 Pig Table from Moooi

Oink, oink, party people! Get ready to squeal with delight over the Pig Table by Moooi and Swedish design group Front. This little piggy is no ordinary table - it comes equipped with a serving tray to hold all your favorite goodies. And let's be real, it's almost too cute to use for anything other than showing off.

Now, when we say "little piggy," we might be fibbing a bit. This hefty hog stands at over 30" tall and weighs over 90 lbs - definitely not your average runt of the litter. But hey, that just means it's sturdier and can hold even more of your favorite snacks and beverages.

And while we know it's tempting, please don't mistake this adorable pig for bacon. It's got an important job to do - holding your stuff with ease and adding some serious fun to your décor. 

#5 Day Tripper Repurposed Car Settee from Fairfield Chair

This one-of-a-kind settee is not your average piece of furniture - it's a vintage car repurposed into a cozy seat for those with a need for speed. With genuine leather racing seats and working headlights, you'll feel like you're ready to hit the open road (or at least your living room).

But don't let the beat-up exterior fool you - this settee screams classic, vintage flair.

The only thing missing? An AM/FM stereo so we can blast our favorite tunes and really get in the zone.

#6 Hot Dog Sofa from Seletti

While a bread cushion may not seem like the most obvious choice for a cozy night in, this statement sofa doesn't care about conforming to norms. 

It's all about standing out in the best way possible. Whether you're a foodie fanatic or just love a good laugh, the Hot Dog Sofa is sure to satisfy.

Sink your buns into a soft, light potato roll made from a blend of polyester, cotton, viscose, acrylic, and linen materials. And don't worry about this sofa going limp - it's built to last with a sturdy wood, polyurethane, and metal structure.

But what really takes this sofa to the next level? The gold plated resin feet, of course. They add a touch of bling to your bun-inspired seating. And while the creators offer three vegetable cushions, let's be real - hot dogs are all about the meat.

#7 Ngumu Janka Warnti High Back Chai from Trent Jansen & Johnny Nargoodah

The Ngumu Janka Warnti High Back Chair sure knows how to make a statement! This one-of-a-kind piece, created by the dynamic duo Trent Jansen and Johnny Nargoodah, was born from a local scrap yard and brought to life in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. 

The design process involved hammering and beating a mesh substrate material into the perfect shape, before wrapping it in New Zealand saddle leather for a soft touch. 

This chair is so unique and eye-catching that it has even made its way into the permanent collection at the National Gallery Victoria!

#8 Quartz Armchair from D3CO

This chair is like a burst of modern Italian design that would fit perfectly in any chic living space. You can take your pick from a bunch of vibrant colors and different fabrics for the upholstery, so you're sure to find one that suits your style.

Inspired by the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, this chair's unique geometric shape will make you feel like you're lounging in a work of art. The frame is made of dried beechwood and features handmade aluminum joints, while the padding is made from natural oils and herbs, making each "crystal" insert a cozy place to land

#9 Star Lounger from Troy Smith Studio

It's a functional and comfortable lounger, perfect for lounging around and feeling like a true star. The black stretch velvet upholstery and brass caps add a touch of sophistication to this eclectic piece, making it a true work of art.
