Geek Item Of The Week



 

Floating Hover Chair

 

Just look at the damn thing.  It's super elegantly cool.  Sure, it's probably extremely uncomfortable (what with it being solid plastic and all), but it hovers off the ground using giant magnets.  Hot damn!  And it was inspired by Star Wars:

 
Inventor Keith Dixon, of Sussex-based Hoverit Ltd, said he was inspired as a child by the anti-gravity Landspeeder vehicles in the "Star Wars" films.

 

"The sensation you feel as you lie back and close your eyes is totally different -- like floating on a cloud," said a Stuff Live spokesman. Its 6,000 pound ($9,620) price tag may bring visitors back down to earth with a bump, however.

 

So it costs over $9,000.  Who cares?  If I had the money, I'd totally buy one of these.  How many people do you know with a floating chair?  None, right?  Wouldn't you like to be the first in your friend group to own one of these bad boys?  I know I sure would.
