Chinese philosophy has the concept of Yin and Yang — “two opposite yet the same time complementary forces,” united, yet at the same time opposing and fighting each other all the time (one is reminded of the male-female relationship). Now, DEDON has come up with a lounger based on a similar concept. Two separate sofas (pardon my crudity) yet they slide into each other. The lounger is convex and concave-shaped alternately and made from the finest fiber.

It seems to be ideal for love-birds, who want to chirp endlessly in close comfort. It will appeal to all those who ascribe to Chinese philosophy and of course to the Chinese — who, it seems, have all the money nowadays!
