The 'Bored Housewife Throne' is definitely not for the faint of heart. Designed by Walter Raes, this quirky chair is made out of household items and recycled industrial material such as wire ironing boards, a pair of patent leather, knee high stiletto boots used for the arms, leather upholstery for the seat and what looks like suede boots for the front legs.
The “Throne” is considered by Raes to be wearable art, and not an object for every day use.
