Cool Chair, Strange Name, Great Price!

Sassy Sofa Chair in Purple

The Sassy Sofa by New Spec is a bit of a misnomer. Although you might call this a one-seater sofa, to me it is actually just a really cool retro chair. There is no doubt that this is a funky chair from the first glance, it has a cool 1950′s atomic age shape and it comes in some wild and bold colors.

Sassy Sofa Chair in RedIt has a hip, low slung look that puts you at an angle that is perfect for lounging. The base is covered with a high quality vinyl and has an interesting tear drop shape that is propped up on four funky metal legs. The back is a bit smaller than the seat adding to the retro look of this crazy chair, as if the modern amoeba pattern or wild animal prints aren’t enough.

The Sassy Sofa is not for the timid or those looking for a tastefully modern accent chair for their living room. This whimsical chair is for someone looking to make a statement or complete the retro look of an already wild decor.

Best of all, this fun and funky chair, or sassy single seat sofa, if out there for a super affordable price! At only $219.00 each you can get one of each of these and deck out you atomic age home in full on 50′s style. Choose from three funky upholstery options, purple vinyl with a passionate purple fabric pattern, shocking bright red vinyl with a wild cheetah print fabric or chocolate-brown vinyl with a bold leopard print.

Each one comes with its own matching ottoman that completes the retro look and makes this cool accent chair even more loungable. If you have the guts, check out the Sassy Sofa at Stacks & Stacks, it may be called a sofa but it is really a fun and crazy lounge chair with a personality all its own.

Artek A331 Suspension Light

The Artek Beehive Lamp! The A331 Suspension Lamp by Artek may not have the most descriptive names in the world, but I will give you some descriptive words for it; retro, modern, funky, mid-century…um…beehive.

Sure this interesting stack of white aluminum rings may not be for every decor, but there is always that one

Best Sorpresa Lipstick Range Hood

The Sexy Range Hood! It’s sleek, it’s sexy, it’s slightly retro, it’s the Lipstick Range Hood from the Best Sorpresa collection. Looking vaguely retro and vaguely futuristic, the Italian designed Lipstick Range Hood may not fit in with every kitchen’s decor, but I really like the way it looks. There is little doubt where this oh-so-cool kitchen range hood got its name. The rich, bright red cylinder with the angles silver bottom has the sexy style of a brand new lipstick. It mounts to a wall and is only 16″ in diameter
