Sit on This, Soft and Flashy
Waaa-haaa-haaa. This is just what I need--a chair to change colors to announce to the world that the person sitting on it is overweight.
The furniture is called fuwa pica, which means soft and flashy. It changes colors to reflect emotions--think of it as a mood ring for your butt--and if you're overweight it changes to red "as if the blood pressure was rising," says the designer.
Of course, the designer also says that all furniture breathes and talks--we just can't hear it.
Me: "Okay, desk chair. What have you to say for yourself? You've been pretty darn quiet for the past 13 years."
Chair: "Hell, am I that old? Good grief. I need to be put out in the dumpster."
Me: "Good thought. My last day at work is next week. Want me to roll you out there on my way out the door?"
Chair: "Yeah, and don't let the door hit you on the backside as you leave."
Me: "Wait! You're turning red! Oh no, darn, that was nail polish."
