Rocking chair designed to look like abdominal muscles
This striking "Ruby" rocking chair from Pouyan Mokhtarani is modelled on human anatomy. The manufacturer makes a bunch of crazy newage claims about the benefits of this ("This chair is designed in a way that when ever an individual sits on it, he or she will experience the sense of power. This feeling is synonymous to that of a super metaphysic human who can control every surrounding matter.") but I like it because it just Looks Cool; it's entirely conceivable that sitting in it is like being beaten with sticks.

It looks like sitting in it might feel something like sitting on the lap of a muscle-hunk. That would be nice.
But of course there's no knowing what, for example, the "liquid pillows" feel like. The person who wrote the ad copy on that page had some first language that was not English, and a translator who probably didn't speak English either. What are the "hunkers" muscles in the human body? One can figure out more or less what he must mean...but it's not clear he knows what he's talking about.
I can't tell if you're supposed to have sex in it or pilot a mech.
Both. Simultaneously.
Gorgeous design.
In a stable position, your feet don't touch the floor. This would be uncomfortable on your knees after a while.
From the angle of the pic, at first glance, it looked like a uterus to me. =X
"This chair is designed in a way that when ever an individual sits on it, he or she will experience the sense of power. This feeling is synonymous to that of a super metaphysic human who can control every surrounding matter."
Sounds like they have a thing for Dr. Manhatten.
Sex on it? At first glance I thought I was supposed to have sex WITH it!
can it has a hedrest footstool and cupholdr pls
WOW that thing is hideous! Why????
It does look pretty gynaecological to me. Fit some stirrups to that (so that your feet don't hang off into space) and I'd feel weird sitting there as a man.
@6 Manhattan. But yes, my thoughts exactly.
looks like it holds left and right cheek separately so nuts would feel free compared to conventional chairs.
Designed FOR MANLY MEN!!!!
"Watch TV in comfort while your doctor or "special friend' rolls under you on a creeper(for instance http://www.redhillsupply.com/PEG7031.htm) and milks your prostate like it ain't never been milked before!!!"
This looks like a prop from an 80's Cronenberg flick. Just throw in a vaguely phallic footstool or lamp.
@#3 Tenn:
I was going to say exactly that!
That is one of the ugliest most retarded pieces of furniture I have ever seen.
Is that where Tony Little rocks back and forth while doing bumps of coke?
Gentlemen,sit on that in the nip and your lads will slide between the eat sections.
So when you stand up it catches your rig in an ultra modern but basically archaic torture device.
this looks like a rocking chair I have in my basement that was made of the same badly temped white painted tube metal they make cheap bed frames out of.. popular from the late 70's to the late 80's cause people didn't want to look old fashioned while they got their rock on.
one cushion that doesn't lift and seperates like this one though, so I guess that would be it's selling point.
(note to self: don't type eighties rocking chair metal into google again)
This is one messed up piece of furniture. I don't know how sitting on something that resembles a muscled man's lap can give one a sense of power. It's a little gay if you ask me. Not stupid, just gay.
What's next? Chairs with boobies?
Follow-up post: "Man loses junk to overpriced chair."
It doesn't look like my abs... that would be the bean bag chair.
I'm not at all convinced it ever got built in meatspace.
Auto Parts,
You don't get out much, do you?
AutopartsForBrains, I found you what I believe are some non-gay anatomical sculptural chairs. I hope you find them less disturbing.
Along the way, I found some chairs for Takuan.
Auto...brains 19: I don't know how sitting on something that resembles a muscled man's lap can give one a sense of power.
Then you've never done it. It's especially nice if you're both naked. Oil optional.
It's a little gay if you ask me. Not stupid, just gay.
You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
