Furniture with Human Feet

'Surreal Minimalism' by David Pompa

This collection of chairs featuring upholstered seats and metal bases sculpted into the form of human legs and feet are the brainchild of Austria-based designer David Pompa.

The collection is called 'Surreal Minimalism' and according to the designer, the chairs are a response to the mental and physical needs of people in their office environment.

The majority of the comments these designs received on the original posting at Dezeen were less than favorable. What do we here at Trend Hunter think of them?
