Cactus Chair

As part of the China Chair Project art exhibit, artist Xiang Yun created this chair and footstool shaped like a prickly cactus from a hand-molded silicone!

Why, it’s the perfect chair for a house guest who has overstayed his welcome … Link

    Looks more like a nasty tumor to me. The little bristles sticking out really enhance the appeal as well.

    Yeah, I was going to say, it looks like something you'd see in a 'horror' videogame, like Hellgate London or Silent Hill.

    That'd be silicone, not silicon, I believe. (Sorry, pet peeve.)

    Oops - you're right, Pat J, I knew that! Fixed. Perhaps if the artist had chosen green it would've looked exactly like a cactus.

    They took something beautiful and turned it into a bloody mess. Looks like an inside out jelly fish bleeding to death.

    ...it looks like an organ. And not a healthy one. Blech.
