Autonomous Living Unit Crams An Entire Home Into a Chair

via Gizmodo by Sean Fallon on 5/27/09

The Autonomous Living Unit concept by designer Eduardo McIntosh aims to incorporate all of the functions of a home into a single chair in order to "provide for the basic needs of the 21st century human being."

Somehow, I don't think that is enough to really constitute a "home" (or satisfy any basic needs), but If the pictures in the gallery above are any indicator, you could get a quick back-alley pap smear. Yeah, I don't see this happening. [Dezeen]
