Designer Tim Sugden claims that the inspiration for his Giger Chair came from the anamorphic aliens of its namesake, Mr. H.R. Giger. This does not grok: it is not pieced together from nearly enough rotting animal skeletons for that, nor is it shaped like an extraterrestrial vagina. Rather, it looks more like the sort of chair that Buck Rogers might lounge in while receiving futuristic, twenty-fifth century lap dances, or the sort of chair into which Dr. Heywood Floyd might strap himself during a flight aboard a Pan-American space plane in order to scrutinize a mysterious obelisk on the surface of the moon.

These are the chairs desinged for the Dune movie that wasn’t actually in the Dune movie because of all the bullshit that surrounded it’s production and editing and whatnot that destined the film to not be very good.
I think that maybe a third of any comment I make on boingboing relates to dune. I am a nerd.
Something something dark side…
Something something complete…
What? No spinal chord adorning the back? A Klingon p’tagh wouldn’t even lower himself to having this in his trophy room!
There needs to be a matching reading/munching/laptop tray, preferably one with dials and switches and meters. I move it be sold as “the Giger counter”.
(g, d, r…)
Looks more like a battle droid on skates
anyone else bothered by the fact that this tim sudgen guy can’t even spell h.r. gigers name correctly?
I call bullshit!
