Is this some sort of caricature of how the usual expensive chair looks below the fabric?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Nah. If anything, I think this is more a parody of bricolage design.

Goes great with your giant cable spool coffee table and sheetless mattress directly on the floor.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have spent some time homeless and have legitimately seen homeless encampments with uh 'decor' that looks like this, albeit rusted and water logged.

Some stolen construction zone materials, some crackhead ingenuity and voila! 'comfy' chair.

This is about an average one bedroom apartment rent in the US for a ratchet ass chair (it literally has ratchets!) that can actually be assembled by toothless fentanyl addicts.

Fuck whatever this company is and anyone that buys this bullshit.

grrr I hate artists 😡😡

This site is something else

$4220 Aviators & $2230 Beanie. $6400 to look like a thrift store stoner

I will never understand why “shitty” is an aesthetic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It is aesthetic, but none you need to pay thousands of bucks for

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

How charmingly quaint my good man! I think it will make the perfect bougie addition to my bare hardwood Manhattan flat. I'll put it just next to the elevator. This must really be how the poor's live!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My first thought is that this is meant for custom upholstery. If you're spending $1800 on a single chair, you're probably willing to shell out another grand or whatever to cover it in fabric that you like.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

SSENSE is a designer fashion store for the most part. So this is more like a functional art piece.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nope, that's just the artist's design . This really wouldn't be a good frame for upholstery anyway

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is for those with explosive farts. Please be respectful

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

So DIY as in dye it yourself

Looks sturdy AF

My first thought upon seeing the cargo straps was: "Oh this is some bondage play shit isn't it"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You can get bondage gear for way less than $1888

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

oh yeah

rope & straps are cheap at hardware stores

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But is it really bondage gear if it doesn't hurt your wallet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

That’s not bondage, that’s FinDom…or so I’ve heard.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The 8's in that font look strange.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

They’re top heavy.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago

Yeah, they look like they're upside down, what the hell. lmao

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

So hideous I’d consider buying it just to ruin the day of whomever gazes upon it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If I saw that in someone's house I'd think "well that's terrible but no-one's first woodworking project looks great, at least it's creative problem-solving".

Hearing the price tag is where I'd probably faint.

Just an edgy response to “I can’t be bothered to learn my own language properly.”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Where can I get one? Asking for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

I'll make you a personalized one for $1700. That's a nice discount off the $1888 retail price.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

One available! Order quick!

(uj/ I actually find this thing and the rest of the artist's works fucking hilarious. I'd get one if I had the money to throw away)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Building it rn. My "fraction of the price" came up to $61 but I bought about 2x too much lumber.

Sell the other one for $100 and boom free chair

Friendly reminder many libraries have maker spaces or maker spaces they work with. Maybe no need to get your own tools at all!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not only does my local library have a maker space, but there is also a local FB group where people lend their tools and other things (like cooking supplies)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's actually really cool. I know my wife is on our neighbourhood Nextdoor group. You've got me wondering if anyone on there has a table saw they'd let me use every so often in exchange for some beer or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

You should definitely ask! Worst they can say is no :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

That would double the price
