'Burniture' from Hongtao Zhou are a pair of wax chairs from the melting-obsessed designer. These two chairs are made out of 15 pounds of wax and are designed to be burnt to the ground.
Hongtao Zhou and his unique furniture designs have been featured on Trend Hunter before, but 'Burniture' is in a league all its own. Watching these chairs burn is strangely calming and almost feels natural. Maybe we should set all of our creature comforts aflame... or just check out Burniture from Hongtao Zhou in the gallery above.
