Ultimate Flexible Workspace
Dutch designers Kapteinbolt have created a flexible workplace, called FLKS. The furniture features a desk and chair that fold out from two hinged sheets. Design firm Kapteinbolt says: ”We like to introduce FLKS (flex), a flexible workplace. Just open the panels unfold the table and the chair and put the plug in for light. The legs from the table and the chair are provided with special designed joints, pull and turn 90°.
The dimensions of the panels are a combination of sizes according to the Modulor of Le Corbusier in combination with the functional human sizes of today. This design is characterized by simplicity, clarity, freedom and space. Freedom in using and in arranging this workplace.
The dialogue between the space and furniture, but also the spaciousness of the furniture itself is an important fact. By bringing furniture back to the essence you can create space. The FLKS provides a definition of space. By giving cover to the back and to one of the sides, the FLKS creates a private and comfortable workplace.”

Heated Portable Chair
If you’ve ever spent an extended period of time outside during the late fall or winter watching some sort of parade, sporting event, or interpretive dance, you’ll have no doubt A) had plenty of time to re-examine your life and B) wished you’d brought a chair. Now add C) to that list: wished the chair you didn’t bring was heated.
According to Hammacher Schlemmer, “This is the only portable folding chair with a heated seat.” It costs $120 and “undetectable carbon fiber heating elements woven into the chair heat from 120º F to 140º F to warm your legs and posterior.” Now we’re talking.
The built-in battery is good for four hours on the lowest setting and two and a half hours on the highest setting. Recharge time takes about two hours and can be done via standard AC or using the included automobile adapter.
Last but not least, the chair supports up to 275 pounds, there’s a fold-out cup holder, and three pockets for stashing some snacks, magazines, and anything else that’ll make the time spent watching 22 six-year-olds chasing a soccer ball in the wrong direction go faster.
