I prefer classic rock pillows.

mmr

those look really cool! :D

Bash_

Anyone see that rock...the first thumbnail image...look at the way it's placed. LMAO

getting any ideas?

Kikouken

It's probably a good idea to check the price before pronouncing it "practical".

CircusSeal

Finally, an interesting, practical design concept.

That wasn't so hard now, was it, Gizmodo?

strobefx

Dude, that ro...

Oh, nevermind.

Windhawk

Finally! My dream to build the Flintstone house will be realized!

I vote b, but thats just because loin cloths freak me out

discounteggroll

Is there a reason they use primarily kids for their models? Maybe the rocks look more effective as furniture with persons of smaller stature.
That's right... LITTLE PEOPLE

tek_nic

They'll probably get sued in the US after some idiot kid has an encounter with a real rock after playing with these!

@drewheyman: Someone needs to post the price :)

@CircusSeal:
i couldnt' figure out how much they cost. though i did figure out they name their products like Ikea. I'm not sure 'carla' is a good name for a rock. it should be more like 'rockula' or 'pebbles' or 'stonehands'.

"and then you go to lay out the rock pillows, that's not part of it, but it's still very important. IT'S BUSINESS, IT'S BUSINESS TIME!"

What it is

It's all fun and games until someone does a face plant into a real rock mistakenly thinking that it was a pillow!

Noobs-R-Us

Well what about, F) You're a Gimp.

Anyone?

Obviously the answer can't be "C" because he is not wearing his business socks.

rossismyname

Let the kids get accustomed to this for a while, then replace them with actual stones. The kids leap into the pile of "pillows", and laughs are had all around.

Kaiser-Machead

Livingstones I presume?

atomx

how practical isn't this? Expensive, and who has the space to take up a whole room to fill up with faux rocks? I mean it looks cool, like you could just plop down and take a nice nap, but anyone over the age of 12 knows that just wont happen. Anybody else will realize they are going to be incredibly uncomfortable, even though they look all comfy. Just like a bean bag chair.

rrrrrrright

I don't think it can be C, neither of them are wearing thir socks, you can't have business without business socks.

Jeerkahn

can you say...hippy orgy?

Spaceboy

Scissors and paper to follow suit.

SigmundTheSeaMonster

@Kikouken: I give up. Can you explain the comical rock to me? Are you talking about image "7.jpg" with the four sleeping girls?

Hahaha intresting

gbirrueta

wow.. this is pretty cool.. lol

Fingerling17

We used to call these... BEAN bag chairs.

scar98

these are pretty cool.. it actually freaked me out when i saw the pic with 2 kids jumping on rocks! until i read the heading.. LMAO!

Fingerling17

wow these are both cool and innovating but also amazing and stylish. i'd buy a bunch for the corner of my living room, except theyre probably never gonna be mass-produced

elislider

This is really cool, but I bet they're gonna cost way too much for what they are, just like bean bags.

Xander

I like the idea of these as pool furniture, or something for a minimalist porch.
It would seem a bit strange to keep these indoors, however.

jawzxy

So I found some pricing on these things. Not sure how much they've changed in price since May 2006 when this was taken from.

Gilda: 4850
Enza: 4500
Monica: 1605
Rosa: 1248
Carla: 963
Marc: 346
Christophe: 176
Xavier: 176
Jacques: 149
Hervé: 120
André: 104
Pierre: 89
Yann: 57
Edgar: 57

Those are all in Euros though, so adjust that to wherever you live. For example, the Gilda, which is 4850 is $7136 CAD/$7177 US. Not exactly cheap. That's for the massive indoor stone though, and I imagine the prices of this stuff has gone down a little bit in two years, and this was if you were ordering from them directly. They may be more or less in stores in the US/Canada.

OptimusRhyme

the gag would be throwing a real one in the bunch
