British wellness innovator DavidHugh has unveiled a new design-led recliner that aims to help users achieve a deep meditative state within minutes. More than mere furniture, this high-tech chair, uses advanced engineering and ergonomic design, to induce a transcendental state, says the company.
Planar Motion Mechanics, powered by a patented Floatation technology, allow the sitter to feel perfectly balanced and free from external pressure.
According to its inventors, the chair is so finely tuned that the simple act of breathing can cause the entire body to move gently, creating what it describes as “a sensation of total equilibrium”.

Switch off and float away
Five years in development, the recliner has been designed and built in the UK using precision-engineered aluminium and steel, finished with Italian Fenix surfaces and Kvadrat wool-blend or Muirhead leather upholstery.
There’s a choice of finishes available: standard Monochrome, the vividly coloured Soul, and the full-leather Signature.
DavidHugh says its Floatation chair represents an evolution from its earlier Elysium model, launched in 2016 with a formidable £26,000 price tag. This latest design brings the same focus on wellness and design to a wider audience.
We’re told the chair’s Floatation mechanism has been independently studied by neuroscientists, who found measurable changes in users’ brainwave patterns, similar to those seen in long-term meditation practitioners.
The company goes on to suggest the technology could help promote calm and clarity even among those without meditation experience.
Frankly, we just think it looks great for a snooze.
Each Floatation chair is made to order, hand-finished in the UK, and priced from £5,700 ($7,800), via davidhugh.com.
