Flickr Find: Picture Frame Chair

We love Wouter Scheublin's simple lath Picture Frame Chair, but this is a horse of a completely different color...

This chair, on display at NYC's ICFF '08, appears to seat you within a deepened "picture frame". We'd love to see this hanging on a wall instead of in the stand as pictured.

Hmm, I don't love the upholstery, but the concept is hilarious! It's perfect for these self-absorbed times.

It's a little ridiculous looking - would only look good in a museum.

Interesting novelty item; I see it maybe in a boutique.

@ timmy jr. I, too, couldn't help noticing the riff on Klimt.

All it needs is one of those little electronic recorders playing "You ought to be in pictures" whenever anyone sits down.

Clever, but it'd get old real fast.
