If you are looking for some unusual, modern design, the LoJo Ball fits right in, with its funky appearance. This variable seating has a sphere shape, held together by a surrounding zipper. If zipped, the LoJo can function as a stool, a foot rest, or simply a room decoration. If unzipped, it turns into a low lounge chair. It is a variation of a standard beanbag, since it is also filled with the same beans, but still its design is very distinct from that of a bean bag. Though this product is actually designed for adults in mind, rather than children, I think it would be equally suitable to a modern kid’s or teenager’s room.
The LoJo can be ordered on their website for £99.00.

I think these steel fold-up sculptures by Mikromart are truly amazing. The concept of a 3D pop-up is so simple and still, there is something fascinating about the look of stencilwork, that makes these Mikro cubes by London designer Sam Buxton so interesting.
The Mikromart design is such a great combination, I think they fit anywhere in the house and make a cool, modern but still somewhat playful atmosphere, whether you put them inside your study or on your dresser. Furthermore, wouldn’t they be a true gem in a boy’s room with their timeless design? Maybe not the garden theme above, but most themes are rather masculine, like the ‘car’ and ‘mars’ themes, or check out the weight-lifter below.
Available on the Mikromart website, prices vary between 7, 25 and 65£, so you can even get a Mikro sculpture if you don’t feel like spending a fortune!
