Skin Furniture

Artist Gigi Barker has created "skin stools" and "skin chairs" that are designed to look, feel, and smell like human skin. Specifically, sitting on them is supposed to mimic the sensation of sitting on a "rather portly stomach." She achieves the smell part by impregnating the furniture with human pheromones and aftershave. More info at Wired.co.uk and at Barker's website.

I think the artist is right -- it looks like a hairless beer gut. Unfortunately, I just don't have the space for one at my place. And my wife would think that one beer gut in the house is enough.
