25 Uncomfortable Art Chairs

I’d like to preface my introduction to this cluster with the disclaimer that I fully appreciate every one of the art stools, seats and chairs featured below. There are even several I’d love to own. That said, as someone whose workweek involves a lot of sitting, the 25 pieces of art seating in this cluster are downright murderous.

From wooden chairs that cradle a man’s jewels to chairs made from recycled crosswalk traffic lights, these pieces of furniture are more for showing off than sitting in. You won’t find a nap-worthy La-Z-Boy recliner or snooze-inducing chaise lounge in this set.

Instead, you’ll find chairs inspired by bathtubs, made from recycled industrial parts and designed after computer keys. There are stools shaped like apples—with stems intact—and made from recycled skateboard decks. While all of the seating in this cluster is beautiful, none of it looks comfortable.
