RENTALS: Clients Design the Furniture Themselves

Bubble Fine Art & Design, the company behind lit bubble furniture, is debuting its Qar collection in December, but the industry doesn't have to wait until then to see it. The "furniture" can be any size chair or sofa you want because it is sold in five-inch slices made of arpro, a new kind of expanded polypropylene that is very light yet durable. Each slice can hold 300 pounds and can be used for indoor and outdoor functions. Approximately six slices make a comfy seat for one and more than 25 creates a roomy couch. The slices are available in black, green, gold, magenta, orange, silver, and white, so you can mix and match to create a cool color scheme or match the furniture to any theme. Peebles (molded plastic jelly bean-shaped tables in magenta, black, and white) add a mod touch and pair nicely with the Qar collection. Pricing is $25 per slice, and the company can ship anywhere in the country and can assist in the design process. —Vanessa Goyanes
