For the squeamish, this might seem a bit barbaric– but for those who love meat, it can be considered art.

Comfortable, sleek and stackable, this chair does a lot of things for a lot of people.  Selected as a winner of the One Good Chair competition, the Posi+ive Chair by Jittasak Narknisorn (say it three times fast) is quite the looker.  Narknisorn created the concept for the Posi+ive chair by playing with folded paper, discovering a design that would be ergonomically comfortable and stackable at the end of the day.  It is made of plywood with stainless steel legs and a wool felt cushion, punctuated with plus-sign holes for a stylish little embellishment.  This chair isn’t in stores yet, but you can rest assured that it will be soon enough…
