PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
«Inflated Ass» is a chair with a very natural shape, the shape of an inflated plant from the Planet of Paradise. I really like the idea that a plant, along given paths, can grow into something physiological and practical. And it was the way this plant was formed: under the ass of two-legged creatures. However, these plants are predatory and you should not tame and sit on them. Otherwise, you can find yourself in the immortal fetters of pleasure. Therefore, in order to have such a plant at home, you need to gain self-control and endurance to its charms.

LEGEND:
This chair is a predatory plant growing on the Planet of Paradise. It is a kind of «flycatcher» for all the living: as soon as a person sits on it, they can no longer get up. At such moments, the chair and person become unified whole so the Inflated Ass is able to both feed off people and nourish them. You should not tame this plant and sit on it. Otherwise, you can find yourself in the immortal fetters of pleasure. Therefore, in order to have such a plant at home, you need to gain self-control and endurance to its charms. On the Planet of Paradise the indigenous people collect wild sprouts of «Inflated Ass» and send them to the planet Earth.

SPECIFICATIONS:
The chair is made of a metal frame and medium hardness polypropylene. At the top the entire structure is done over with felt or cloth.
