What's that... whenever you lick your chair, the taste sensation isn't satisfying? That's probably because it's not a rainbow-colored lollipop chair. For anyone who's ever wanted a seat that really sticks to you when you sit on it, Dutch-German designer Pieter Brenner (who looks strangely like Willie Wonka and wears a top hat) brings you the Sugarchair.
You might be wondering why someone would make a chair out of sugar. Pieter Brenner provides some helpful answers on his site, such as: "Sugar is the symbol of capitalism. Why the hell are your jeans not made out of sugar?"
While it's not the most practical design (unless you're looking for a better way to lure ants into your dining room), that might not be the point. Brenner says, "I wanted to show that we still are able to play."
As you eat away at your chair, you change its shape. "You can lick the back of my chair, then you have a table," Brenner explains.

Hello? See the original" Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Love Johnny, but the Gene Wilder version is much more fun!

According to the logic of this weekends' NYT magazine, this has to be the most deadly invention EVER (see: Is Sugar Toxic? and Is Sitting a Lethal Activity?)
I bet his face is all sticky now
Agreed. Surprised it isn't on nighttime news already as "THE DANGER LURKING IN YOUR DINING ROOM." It would be a nice change from the danger-lurking-in-your-kitchen stories. @missjulia
All I can think about is the amount of germs this would accumulate and people licking the dirty thing, getting it nice and sticky for more filth to stick to it. Maybe I'm a germophobe.

Probably for the same reason my chair isn't made out of sugar!
my dog would love that chair, her name is sugar.
cool, I likey likey!
Ants.
hilarious, can I have one in sugar free?
high gloss paint and you could just have a chair that looks like candy without my dog eating the leg off. I'll take 6 please!
Those first 2 pics are creepy.
Ew.
Ya I haven't been dying to find something I can eat after I've had my butt all over it.
OMG HOW FUNNY...IT LOOKS LIKE MY RAINBOW CHAIR BY PATRICK NORGUAT FOR CAPPELLINI!
