Believe it or not, these chairs were intentionally designed to be extremely uncomfortable.

Designed by the German firm Prime, the Unidentified Object Chair attempts to reinvent the idea of what furniture should be. The bottom half is made of laminated wood and the top part is foam.

Although the chair looks like a pretty painful perch, obviously someone thought it was a good idea. 

The "unidentified object" is a coherent development, an experiment in a “overdesigned” world--although not to be confused with the total lack of design. (yankodesign)
