I remember a few years back just about every one in the dorms had this really neat chair. It was made out of wicker or bamboo or some such thing and came in two pieces. One was like a giant convex lens, like a contact for a t-rex, and the other was a stand for it to sit on. The giant contact lens had a big ol’ cushion on it. It was really comfy and I recall falling asleep on a few of them quite often.

So my roomie is moving out soon and taking her couch with her. I need something to replace it and would really love to find one of these chairs to do the job. Does anyone know where I can find one, or maybe just what they are called so I can ask around?

You can also get them at Pier 1. They make 'em in love seat size, too.
