Gamescom 2023 expo happening in Germany is the place to be if you’re a gaming freak for plenty of reasons. Exposure to next-gen gaming titles and hardware being one!
The highly anticipated Starfield world premiered at the event with the live-action trailer and the first few minutes of the gameplay, leaving everyone star-struck. The action role-playing title developed by Bethesda Game Studios features an in-game cockpit, and that’s what inspired sleep specialist TEMPUR and Microsoft to collaborate on a unique themed for every gamer to appreciate.
Designer: and

Lovingly referred to as the Dream Chair, the gaming seat features the signature Tempur memory foam originally developed by the 60s NASA team to provide able support to space-bound astronauts. The elaborate swiveling seat is designed by Nicholas Alexander, a U.K.-based designer and artist for a convincing in-cockpit feel. Just like in Starfield’s promotional videos, you as the in-game pilot take control of the sci-fi switches, array of lights, random dials and the ability to telescopically move forward or backward.

According to Xbox global partnerships director Marcos Waltenberg, the chair is a “modular cockpit” that emulates the Starfield gameplay for an immersive feel of captaining a starship on a mission. The Dream Chair has two aluminum joysticks on the armrests to maneuver an in-game flight in a small section of Starfield’s huge universe. The curved display upfront elevates the level of immersion as you navigate through a mystical space.

The peculiar NASA Punk art style is evident in the creation, and if you’ve got your eyes set on buying one, there’s bad news. This is a one-off creation for the gaming event and is currently on display at the Xbox booth. If you do miss the event, you can catch a glimpse at the Saturn Xperion store in Germany. After that, the gaming chair will make temporary residence at the TEMPUR store in Westfield, Stratford in October for a month. Finally, the gaming chair will be auctioned off in a charity raffle, of which there are no details at this point in time. So, practically you do have a chance to own this intergalactic cockpit chair!
