"Hermaphrodite" chair by Didier Fiuza Faustino
Fashioned from a single sheet of aluminium, architect Didier Fiuza Faustino's "Hermaphrodite" is a stool concept that reflects the shape of the pelvis. Drawing heavily on saddle making tradition, "Hermaphrodite" is designed to be straddled, rather than merely sat on.
As the name may indeed suggest, this concept is intended to confront the user with their own anatomy and gendered identity—something that, many a gentleman out there may argue, a fair number of poorly designed chairs succeed in doing already.
Take the jump for a sneak (ever so slightly NSFW) peek at how one might actually sit on such a thing.
