Hot or Not: Glass Chairs

These have got to be one-designs. Spotted yesterday afternoon at Pilot Group's new offices in midtown, these guys are actually comfortable to sit in (they seem to flex), but they do make you a bit anxious.

I'm less anxious about sitting on them -- in which case I know exactly where they are -- than I am upright, mobile, not seeing the chairs, and walking into them.

More suitable for photo shoots and designer showhouses....

What!? They are interesting to look at but I don't think I would actually want to sit in one.

appears to be a homage of sorts to the Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Armchair in "crystal." I'd say it missed the mark.

These can make any sitter look fat.

Yeah, I don't think I'd feel very comfortable on one of these while wearing a short skirt.

I think someone would have to Windex off the fingerprints and/or leg marks between sitters.

I wouldn't sit in this chair if there was the potential for someone to walk behind me -- nobody's booty looks good squished and pressed on glass.

JonathanB, as someone who has walked into every piece of furniture I own at least twice, I hear you.

These chairs are ugly anyway.

I would be afraid of slipping out of them if I leaned back at all...
