Inspired by the ancient "Chair of Nails Torture", which was studded with spikes and used by inquisitors, "Malicious" was designed to create a feeling of disturbance, hesitation and fear in users. The purpose was to see the reactions and behavior of the users towards disturbing objects.

You know what would be great? A stool with retractable spikes and a remote control. This way, when you want to clear your benches at closing time or get rid of a creep, you press a button and presto!
