If you’re the sort who likes to plump up your cushions before you sit down, then this tube chair is just for you! The nine-metre or 30 foot stuffed tube called the Bulldang or Buldang was designed to look like the bangers on your dinner plate, links and all! Hirohiko Kamiya is the designer who created this destructured modular armchair sofa which allows the user to coil the tube into a variety of seating arrangements. The tube configuration allows maximum flexibility when trying to get the most comfortable padded support to sink into after a hard day’s work.
Using several tubes will provide an infinite number of spatial layouts. These tube chairs are made from “Climate Control” cloth from the Dupont Neotis Studio and were part of a collaboration with Dupont de Nemours. The knitted construction provides breathability and the fabric is elastic and durable as well. What is the price for customizable comfort? $2380 each from here. - Via

I guess bean bag chairs are out then?
Looks like a neat chair/sofa/your-own-creation. I wonder if the
“links” get flat after prolonged seating and if so if it’s easy
to fluff them into poofiness (I know, I’m using a lot of technical
language here :P) again.
Wow - that is cool - really expensize but cool. I bet the shipping cost would be a few hundred bucks - that sucker is big. It’s neat that they use such a high end climate control fabric - it sounds like it is Climarelle/Outlast?
Ummm….It looks like part of the digestive system.
This is very interesting… but the idea of a sausage sitting in my tv room just isn’t appealing to me… my pup will chew this $2k piece of furniture up so fast…
