Using just magnets and an innovative design, the chaps at British-based Hoverit, have come up with a lifestyle changing lounger.

This clever chair defies gravity by deploying strong magnets in both the base and chair itself, so when you lie down, you actually are floating.

The lounger is 2 x 1 x 1m and comes in four different models - each with different shaped holes in the seat part: circular, hearts, droplets or slots.

Hoverit adds that the loungers can also have graphics applied and the company will soon have a range of accessories available including cushions and up-lighters.

We took a break from the bustle of this year's Grand Designs Live show in central London to have a sit down and bounce about to see what the Hoverit Lounger is all about.
