The ‘Chest' Chair is Fit for an Evil Mastermind

Just looking at the ‘Chest’ chair makes me think of every evil character that has ever set foot in the streets of my imagination or real-life adventures. It looks so daunting, that if an innocent old grandmother owned it, I would be compelled to appraise her suspiciously before trusting anything she said or did.

Conceived by lovakian Designer Ivan Venkov, the ‘Chest’ chair evokes a sense of sci-fi retroness. Featuring leather and chrome finishes, it certainly looks as comfortable as it does intimidating.
