Looking for a low-key place to sit and read? This ain't it. No, this circular, light-shining seat-cum-bookshelf will definitely be the centerpiece of any room it sits in.

And that may not be a bad thing. Dubbed the Long Form Library by designer Thomas Mills, it actually looks pretty comfortable. It's designed to gently rock back and forth while you're in it, and it can hold its weight in books. The only trouble will be trying to find furniture that goes with it.
