Though we like most things DIY and are super into building a custom chair, we're not sure how on board we are with this idea of a "Do-Hit Chair." It comes with a sledge-hammer for a reason, check out the video of the creation process after the jump.
Marijn van der Poll is the mastermind behind the Do-Hit Chair. It's a box made from 1.25mm stainless steel measuring roughly 40" by 28" by 30". The idea is simple, just hit it and make your own custom piece of furniture. The price is yet to be announced for this piece, though we're pretty sure whatever amount is put on it might seem high to most.
Typically when one pays money for an item, it's to not have to do the dirty work of building it themselves. Especially when it comes to chairs. Do you like the idea? Or think it's only for those looking for something out of the box, or in this case—made from one.

Next we'll have someone selling us some wood, a saw, a staplegun and some fabric and telling us to make a chair...
I'm not one to criticize another person's idea or art form ... but this is really terrible. Why not just go to your local junk yard and find a block of scrap metal that has been badly damaged by a crane. Not to mention the obvious ... who would want to sit in this?
Perhaps the idea of a customizable chair would be exciting, but I can't imagine you'd get anything comfortable form a cube of steel, with all crinkly edges and things after you whap it...
First thing that came to mind...
Bart: Dad? Are you okay?
Homer: Yeah. In fact, I feel fantastic. (does a little dance)
Bart: That trash can must have un-kinked your back.
Homer: Not trash can, son … Dr. Homer's Miracle Spine-O- Cylinder! …Patent pending.
Gee. That looks... uncomfortable. Not to mention ugly.
Sorry, but "ouch" in more ways than one.
i love it. its droog. so fun!
Dumb idea. Fantastic photograph.
I love it too---it's hilarious!
The woman's pose in the first photo expresses how I feel about this. And, ow--I don't want a pokey bum from sitting in that thing!
Of course it's from Droog, masters of the absurdly impractical at an astronomical price. I think we should take bets on what the price will be - my guess is $3500.
