Hot or Not? Hug Chair for Two

...or for one and a laptop. This concept chair design called the "Hug" comes from the first Bulgarian Design Biennial. What do you say? Hot or Not?

I can't decide it it's hot or not...

...but it looks like a Womb Chair who's mother took Thalidomide during pregnancy.

Maybe if the man sat on the arm...

love the idea, my wife likes sitting on my lap, but either my arm or my leg ends up going to sleep.

however, i don't see how this would be comfy for long term use at all. Is it just for making out?

Holy mother of Jeebus, that thing looks horribly uncomfortable.

Hilarious. I like it, though!

Hot. Although, I can't imagine where it would go.

I would never buy that -- it looks cheesy to me. What's wrong with just cuddling up on the couch or putting your lap top on your, um, lap?

I think it's cute. I mean, I'm not crazy about how it looks, but it's such a good idea. It could also save you from adding an end table when you only need a *little* bit of space.

It is great for lazy work at home.

It doesn't look attractive at all to me.
