OOoo Chair: A chair that really isn't there


The OOoo chair is a concept designed by Martina Decker and Peter Yeadon of New York’s Decker Yeadon Design. You simply cut two holes in your floor and stick your legs through. The OOhh chair is designed to deal head on with that disgusting waste associated with disposing of furniture. It's a green thing. When you aren't sitting, you cover the holes with reusable plastic discs.

After seeing this I realize that my brain is fine. Everybody else is crazy. Hey, Yeadon and Decker, is that a spider crawling up your pants?

So glad you realize your brain's A OK! And agreed, everyone else is crazy. This is the dumbest thing that I've seen in a long while.

huh!??!? why do i envision peoples falling in the holes?? and some cultures piss/shit in holes in the floor so uh, who's to say they wouldn't think it's a toilet?

Gotta remember to tell my daughter she doesn't need to fix the hole in her stair treads, just leave the camo book on the hole. Tell the realtor it's the 'new modern thingy'... Who needs furniture, ya know?

Sorry, I don't want to sit on some hard ass floor with my legs dangling in the basement. Break my leg if I have to get up fast.

Oh, I designed a chair when I sat on the edge of a pier and dangled my feet in the water. Pfft.

What about upstairs? Everybody upstaors legs are poking down thru the LR & kitchen ceilings? & what about when you are in the bathroom? Somebodys legs just hangin' there. This is insane. This isn't an idea. This is just po' folks furniture. But in my house you might get a spider up you leg or a mouse in the winter? Can you imagine the horror? Reminds me of Tom Hanks stuck in his floor with that rug for hors & hours in The Money Pit. I gotta laugh now! This is hysterical. Thank you!!

What if your house is a new house on a cement slab? You gonna bust out the cement with a jackhammer to make some "Bedrock" Fred Flintstone style furniture? This is so funny. All the possibilties! Nattie=LOL!!!

Yep that's definitely a WTF?

Your brain is definitely fine! You're still able to filter out the bullshit!

That might be fine until I decided it was time to get up and then all hell would break loose!

As soon as I started reading it I was thinking what your thinking...spiders. Sorry, but not sticking my legs down some dark holes...nuh uh...not gonna happen!

How would you clean it? The stuff from the bottom of your shoes would fall in that hole......

Tonya!!! LMAO!!! Clean?? down in the holes under your house?! Really??? You ever been under there? LOL!!! And how would you keep the dog off the sofa! This is so funny. Even on day 2. It almost looks like an optical illusion. Getting up would totally suck. Broken legs abound. Scabs & bleeding knees. How would you make a baby seat? This is so funny. OMG! Its like that hysterical 1974 Woody Allen movie..."Sleeper"!

Are the legs dangling in midair? I thought they were filled in. What if you dropped something down there? That's just silly.

Holy shit, I missed the whole second picture of the woman sitting on top of a bunch of rafters. Well, that would explain all the spider comments!
