The Monster Chair looks like a character out of a Pixar film. Cute, chubby and full of character, I feel as though it will start talking any minute with that big, gaping 'mouth.' That 'coming to life' quality is exactly what makes this piece of furniture so special.
Created by Korean designer Jinyoung Choi, the Monster Chair has features that can be appreciated at all angles. This "underlines the existence of funiture itself and the person sitting on that," as Choi puts it. On a more practical level, the Monster Chair has great storage features.
