This is one armchair that will have you sitting down and staying awhile. A long, long while.

Soojin Hyun and Sangho Park's 'Mr. Chair' armchair will have women flocking to furniture retailers everywhere. The personified piece is a [sleek and stylish black chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poodle-armchair), upholstered in high-quality leather. It is [amply cushioned](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair), and is the perfect spot for reading or simply wasting time.

However, the real selling point of this baby is its abs. That's right, this foxy furniture has a sittable six pack. The cushion on the back of the chair has been designed to resemble a man's chest. A very athletic and active man's chest.

Soojin Hyun and Sangho Park's 'Mr. Chair' will have flocks of females fighting to sit in the hot seat.
