The Cactus Chair by Deger Cengiz makes it look as though sitting could be a painful proposition. This [limited-edition seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair) is an examination into how visuals effect experience. The [thorny, round cactus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chet-lo) underneath the [clear chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-chair) is meant to elicit a negative emotional response from potential users.

Basically, the Cactus Chair by Deger Cengiz should make you feel slightly uncomfortable. Made of green tinted Plexiglass, a barrel cactus and river stones, only 13 of these Cactus Chairs are available for purchase--at the price of $3,000 each.
