Design company Dripta describes this chair as "playful and functional." It may be both, but it seems that the company is unaware of the rather inconvenient location of the newspaper holder in the chair. The Dripta Slit Chair lets you conveniently store your rolled-up newspaper between your legs.
Never mind the fact that you may simply want to cross your legs, between-the-leg storage just isn’t that great an idea. (Insert distasteful joke here.) Good thing the Dripta Slit Chair isn’t all the company has to offer. For some of their playful, functional, and *awesome* ideas, check out the links below.
