do hit

Pet rock

[C4rn0]

Fold a box out of sheet aluminium and sell it for an absolutely insane amount of money to a bunch of hipsters who believe it makes them sophisticated.

The creator of this abomination is genius.

It just goes to show you can get rich selling trash to the right fool in the right context.

Hey I know!

I'm going to sell people ordinary magnets on a hanger and tell them it will protect them from hair loss and cancer!

Been done already?

Damn.

[HaoWenXiang]

@C4rn0 This chair is more honest that the pile of marked-up cheap crap from China that supports your fraudulent lifestyle.

[LaraLove23]

@jaimemicha Whatever you say. I call it scrap metal.

[HaoWenXiang]

@LaraLove23 You say steak, I say waste of water, corn, and electricity. Art is in the eye of the beholder.

[bobfet1]

I MUST HAVE THIS CHAIR

[htg04]

doesnt look comfortable.at.all. one of those things thats sounds better than it actually is in my opinion.

[Varttino]

can you take a sh*t on that?

[LaraLove23]

Stupid. Constructing a box and selling it with a sledgehammer is not art. It's not creative. It's not impressive. Anyone who spends several thousand dollars for this is not an aspiring artist or anyone who appreciates art. They are, quite simply, stupid.

[jaimemicha]

@LaraLove23 this is not art, it's design (there's a huge gap between design and art) and the only word I can find for it is: perfect

[raanelom]

@jaimemicha Perfect indeed. However i wouldn't say there's a huge gap between art and design, i would rather say design is applied art.

[SeanWatches]

$9,750? umm maybe if i win teh lottery.

[ZINOMAC40]

$6200 WTMFH

[gReed16384]

cool idea & cool and original chair ;)

I'd love to have one :)

[Danath]

ridiculous

[captfrack]

I will offer my smashing services for FREE to anyone wishing to purchase this chair.

[ssskabrasil]

a chair just for yourself.

[hugeackman]

marijn van der poll should be shot in the stomach for this.

[thesolo]

The price is really out of line here, despite the creativity of the piece.  It's 1 millimeter thick steel and a sledgehammer...that's it.

[yohoo450]

It's an interestion concept, I have to say that. But 6 grand is a little to expensive for my blood, maybe $500-800.

[pipmillhat]

fantastic...you just don't get it do you?

[campana0403]

its not fantastic. its romanticized and self-indulgent.

[gatolupas]

@campana0403 I have to agree. "Art" these days seems to be all about inside jokes and irony. Marcel Duchamp has a lot to answer for. At least HE was original.

[VoiceofCthulhu]

Imagine what would happen if I took your comment, printed it out on some fancy paper, framed it, and sold it to an art gallery.

For two-billion dollars.

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

[sailingfms]

pointless

[sirReginaldFartsalot]

$6000 to hit a $50 piece of metal with a hammer. I guess stupidity has a price.

[ReverendoBr]

@sirReginaldFartsalot totally agree

[jaimemicha]

@sirReginaldFartsalot you have no idea what you are talking about, this thing is GENIUS... I would pay more than $6000 for that chair... it's called DESIGN and it has a price. If you want a "not stupid" chair go to IKEA and get a $30 chair that will be ugly, terribly made and has no design at all.

I'm a designer and I know what I'm talking about

[polada]

concept is not viable, stop motion video would be fun

[ChrisSketch]

that is conceivably, the manliest chair ever created.

[LSLencrypted]

Your comment made my day.

[ChrisSketch]

my pleasure.

[jonaschau]

I would add that for $6000 I hope Philippe Starck would come and to that for me, i'm not doing that myself!

[ToughAsNails00]

I wouldn't spend $6,000 on this, but I would build my own from a hardware store.

[newyorkernut3]

Maybe you can play Calypso music on it

like steel drum,man.

[AxisOfEntropy]

Beat your seat.

[anozawa]

fluxus furniture for "what-is-fluxus?" people

[Atreys]

I need this kind of sophisticated piece on which I can rest my derriere. The ground has ceased to suffice.

[myshkin66]

yikes, who let dad on here?

[h4t0r4d3]

Anyone who buys this should be shot.

[Masakari24]

that ugly thing is $6,000 !! My wife would kick my ass if I brought that in the house. then divorce me for spending 6k on it!

[fookingme]

Ridiculous!

[nomiSimple]

It looked a little rough until the final blows to make it perfect....

[Scisdahl]

this looks like the least comfortable piece of furniture ever, not including torture devices... now that i think of it, there might be a market for these things at guantanamo bay...

[Kebie]

I will laugh so hard if you ever sell 1.

[MDCB1]

Mmmm nice furniture -1.0

[verandi17]

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! what a amazing satisfaction!!
