Soyuz Chair Transforms Lay-Z-Boys Into Cosmonauts
Sitting in the typical recliner has become the weeknight sex of the furniture world—a comfortable task for your body while your mind focuses on TV. The Soyuz Chair hopes to break the mundanity with vintage Soviet space craft design.
Intended to “accurately reproduce” the three stages of a Soyuz rock launch, the you recline, put on eyewear/headphones and input your requested ride into the control panel (should they prefer a single stage or full-out rocket launch). The chair then rattles its way from a mundane home to…well, it doesn’t go anywhere. But maybe you won’t realise that until you take off the mask and return to Everybody Loves Raymond reruns.

Its just me, or it looks like a dog?

Okay I have to say it, if the chairs a rockin don't come knockin.
Also includes massive Russian rocket failure explode on the pad mode where the chair burns you into a small chacoal brickett....
Early Russian spacecraft design? I'll pass. There are hours upon hours of footage of Russian spacecrafts crashing and burning. Plus their economy can barely support the production of paperclips (not that ours is much better right now).
Where can I order one?

That first sentence was great. Kudos to you, Mark Wilson.
@mikeness: Hippies don't know the first thing about kidnapping, and wouldn't know the first thing about brainwashing, as they'd be so adamantly trying to avoid being brainwashed themselves, donning bandanas lined with silica and aluminum foil to keep the satellite signals out of their heads, and popping shrooms and hitting bongs to have an otherworldly experience.

Soyuz isn't vintage, they're still in use and being built new.

Main picture looks like a remote-control puppy.
Cannot unsee.

I have a meat rocket that hot old lady can ride to pleasure planet if she's interested...
Ok gotta go throw up now.
"the three stages of a Soyuz rock launch"
Although I know that's a spelling error, that might be right way to explain a Soyuz launch

Whats with the old Russian mother in the chair? She the cosmonauts wife?
WTF? I was kidnapped and strapped into one of these and brainwashed at a hippy commune once.
It comes with its own babushka, or is this an additional feature. Either way she does not look comfortable, then it must be Soyuz chair.
really?
