Swivel chair
While shopping at IKEA, Rebecca was fascinated by this swivel chair for kids.
You can sit, not “on”, but “in” the chair, and you can close the hood so nobody can disturb you while you are inside. As Rebecca enjoyed this toy furniture, I couldn’t help but think how many grown-ups would love to have an adult-size version of the chair at home. Just close the hood and you can have your little quiet and personal space. It gives you a sense of security and lets you forget the daily troubles for a while.
How come nobody manufactures the chair for adults? Perhaps people are too “mature” for this kind of toy that some people rather choose cigarettes, alcohol or drugs to escape the (sometimes) cruel realities of life? What do you think? Would you buy such a chair for yourself if it were available and affordable?
