The Funky Blast Chair Offers a Multi-Leg Sitting Experience

— October 27, 2009 — Art & Design
This very unique funky blast chair is handmade from American Ash. It has thirty-one hard, wax-coated wooden legs sticking out from almost every direction that make you feel like you’re sitting on a sea urchin (without feeling the prickly effects of thorns sticking into your bottom).

The funky blast chair is filled with high-density polyethylene foam. With upholstery colors that can be customized, this fun seat costs $5000 plus $250 for shipping.
