Rocking chairs have been among the most treasured furnishings of a house through the ages, but very soon, hovering chairs are probably going to replace them. The Magnetic Lounger from a British company Hoverit floats in mid-air beating the conventional rocker.

The lounge comprises a couple of side poles near its armrests holding four powerful magnets capable of retaining 98 percent of their original strength throughout its life. These magnets have their like poles aligned and this repulsion keeps the chair hanging in mid-air. Thus, it doesn’t need power to do its job and remains silent. This new and exciting flying chair has its share of drawbacks. Especially, if you are a cardiac patient with a pacemaker, try to avoid using it frequently. In addition, those accustomed to hold their wallets in back pockets might get their credit cards’ magnetic strips wiped off of their information. Its price at a whooping £5,800 expels its sleek design.

I would very well prefer my good old rocking chair to it because either ways it’s going to affect the credit cards! However, I would definitely recommend it for the posh furniture lovers who would love to take a glide on it.
