Shopping: Mad thing

WITH ITS wacky appearance, the Zest chair looks more like some strange appliance than a comfortable perch, but its rounded design allows for desirably snug seating. Made from rattan, the chair costs pounds 295 from The Art Room (call 01993 770444 to place a mail order) and its striking shape means that it can double up as a piece of living room sculpture.
