things i want: zero gravity chair

i first saw this on the web a couple years ago. first off it's a cool piece of design. it works as a normal chair, a posture correcting chair and a zero gravity chair. to move between the different functions is really simple due to the design of the angles of the back/bottom of the chair. supposedly all you need to do is shift your weight and the chair will move with you. (how very segway-esque of it) i've always wanted a lounging chair and but haven't been able to justify a lounging chair with limited space. usually i'll end up with a love seat sofa which can seat two normally, but still be great to lounge on when people aren't over. still when i have a lot of reading to do, it would be great to have something like this to lean back on and proceed to quickly fall asleep in.

then again knowing me, i'd probably wake up and not remember i was in the chair and fall out of the damn thing and hurt myself. but that shouldn't stop you from getting one. unfortunately this is just a concept chair from the dutch designer firm, stokke, who primarily make baby furniture. still a guy can dream.
