This inflatable furniture has an invisible innovation that makes it more than just a grown-up Y2K throwback

Airmaan launched new inflatable furniture, the M Sofa and N Chair, designed for durability and aesthetic appeal for outdoor use. These pieces inflate in seconds and are marketed as portable living room extensions, suitable for various environments from poolside to mountain edges. The M Sofa is priced at $435 and the N Chair at $329, with the first shipment scheduled for the end of June. Airmaan, cofounded in 2016 by Johan Faure-Brac, aims to address the challenges of traditional furniture, such as bulkiness and difficulty in transport. Faure-Brac stated the company's objective was to create furniture that rivals traditional options in comfort, aesthetics, durability, and functionality while maintaining portability. The brand's efforts build upon previous attempts at inflatable furniture, including designs by Quasar Khanh in the 1960s and branded items during the Y2K era.
