The Return of Swinging London
Austin Powers may have put the 'grrr' back in London's swinger scene, but it was the local design group called the Collaborators who came up with the Love Pod (above), a hanging conversation pit. The giant seat, which is about 8 feet in diameter, is lined with goose-down cushions covered in Gore-Tex. The designers said they 'wanted to create a space that is intimate without being intimidating.' The Love Pod is $1,700 plus shipping. Other models and information are at www.pod-life.com.
