Ball Pit Chair by Tuomas Pykko. This thing would be great for keeping a toddler busy. I can imagine Riley taking out all the balls, one by one, and dropping them all over the house for me to trip over later.

Prickly chair by Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers. I’m assuming this is not intended to be sat upon. At least you wouldn’t have to worry about the pets getting on the furniture (after that first emergency trip to the vet).

Looks like somebody is overdue for a pedicure.

These look like a sight-gag waiting to happen. Beautiful but impossible to sit in suspended chairs by Concept Suspendu – William Lelasseux

An oldie-but-goodie, the Surf Chair Workstation by Kenneth Lylover, circa 2000. I find this one quite beautiful, if impractical. So you get yourself all settled in and comfortable, then the doorbell rings. How long do you think it would take to get out of that thing?

And to cap off the list, here’s Maximo Riera’s Dung Beetle Chair. (Okay, technically, it’s a rhino beetle, but dung is funnier.)
