Self-Sustainable Chair

Seriously???...someone actually thought this was a good idea? I definitely give the designer major kudos for attempting to think outside the box but this might be just a bit too much. This cute little article of clothing is billed as a wearable piece of furniture which is a dress where the butt inflates into a chair through pumps in the shoes. Artist Joo Yuon Paek hopes the provocative art piece will “transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance.” I suppose the walk to work is just too taxing for some. Is it just me or does this dress look more like and oversized diaper than anything?...maybe that's an alternate use.
