Wild Furry Furniture Available Now at Best Buy
Bluffdale, Utah, USA (August 14, 2006) - AK Designs, creator of the AK Rocker™, the world's most popular gaming chair, and designer of innovative and stylish products that enhance the seating experience, today introduced the AK Creature™ series of "Wild Furry Furniture." The Primate version of the AK Creature features a black furry "skin" (cover) and is available for purchase today at select Best Buy stores across the United States and on BestBuy.com. The Mammoth (brown furry skin) and Yeti (white furry skin) versions are also available for purchase on BestBuy.com.
AK Designs has built its reputation as a leading designer of chairs that make seating more enjoyable, comfortable, and fun. The AK Creature completely overhauls the affordable, low-to-the-ground soft furniture category so that consumers no longer have to settle for boring bean bags or other chairs that lack ergonomic comfort and clash with surrounding decor.
"Adults, teenagers, and kids want affordable seating that's not only comfortable, but also fun, fashionable, and full of personality," says Scott Warner, president of AK Designs. "That's why the AK Creature's ergonomic, yet playful design strikes an emotional chord with people of all ages. It's not just a chair; it's a fun seating experience that can be enjoyed virtually anywhere."
