Seltan, the Japanese veteran sofa maker, has transformed Pokémon‘s Sizzlipede (ヤクデ or Yakude) into a chair! Or more correctly, a zaisu, a Japanese chair with a back but no legs. This is no ordinary zaisu. Not only because the likeness of the Sizzlipede makes it a darling to look at but also because it is an absolute chill chair.
This Yakude-inspired throne isn’t just adorable; it’s a snug seat designed with love and boasting a fiery personality. With its detailed face embroidery and flames that pop out like they’re ready to roar, this chair is firm enough to hold you up without a sinking feeling.
Plus, it’s got more angles than a geometry book with 42 reclining positions, an adjustable head (14 levels), and footrests (11 levels) — your comfort, your rules! So, yeah, it is basically a zaisu recliner. Crafted by Seltan, masters of sofas for half a century, this Yakude chair is a testament to Japanese quality and comfort.
Priced at 14,990 yen (tax included) [JP] (which is about 101 American dollars based on today’s going rate), it’s the perfect blend of charm and ergonomic joy, standing at W68xD90xH91cm (about 27x35x36 inches) and approximately 8.6 kg (19 lbs) of Pokémon paradise.
