Chair of the Day: Meltdown
I must admit, I’ve met my match. I’m so perplexed about this that I’m at a loss for words. And for those who have personal knowledge of my prodigious gift of gab you know that that’s saying something. This is actually meant to be a chair. It wasn’t some accident and then the designer said, “Hey this is comfy to sit on!” And that designer would be Tom Price. Since Tom is a well-known designer, I’m thinking that I’ve got to be missing something. Hence my speechlessness. So, here’s what Tom has to say about Meltdown:
This chair is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball of clear PVC hose. The hose begins to melt as it comes into contact with the heated former and, due to prolonged exposure to the heat it starts to burn. Once cooled the surface of the seat looks charred and brittle but is surprisingly flexible and comfortable to sit on.
So there you have it! I’ll take a dozen. How about you?

Eeeeew!
That’s so funny. I guess you’d name this “Burned Up Giant Tapeworm.” But to me it looks like “Rice Noodles Gone Bad.”
This chair opens so many possibilities for rude comments that I don’t know where to start…”what did you have for lunch today?…oh, never mind.”
