(From Kurt Vonnegut's /Sirens of Titan/.) The furniture was visually attractive but off-putting-- if you sat on the edge of the desk, for example, it had a tendency to go skittering nervously around the room. No-one would buy the things. It might be fun, though, to ride a powerfully magnetic chair around an office full of CRT monitors. Oops. I see from the company's web brochure that their chairs don't go anywhere; they float above stationary magnetic bases. I had wondered whether you'd need your entire office suite's or apartment's floor to be impregnated with recycled disk-drive magnets, but one picture clears all that up.
