As part of the Globe Trotter collection for French furniture brand Roche Bobois, this design— from the exuberant mind of Marcel Wanders— looks light and fluffy but is solidly constructed from pine, fir, and metal. And if this red fabric is too tame for you, there are bolder options. It can also be configured as a sofa or an ottoman. $5,100; roche-bobois.com

Dimensions: 39"w x 36"d x 27"h
Moving Mountains, a studio in Brooklyn, N.Y., combined 1970s Italian and California design to create this vision of laid-back living. The beanbag-like seat sits on a swiveling base, so the whole thing seems to hover barely above ground; it’s available in your choice of materials and finishes. $5,500; goodcolony.com
