Pencil Chair and Table

Made by German artist Kerstin Schulz back in 2005 to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Faber Castell's Castell 9000 pencil, which was the first hexagonally shaped pencil. Good for writing with, bad for sitting on. [designboom]

A bed of nails. A chair of pointy pencils. Throw in a toilet of broken glass and you could furnish a house.

The perfect gift for a writer - if he's also a masochist - and a perfectionist - no erasers!

If you had these chairs in the coffee room at a nudist colony and the boss yells 'get the lead out and get back to work!', it just might happen.

Hey, KDP, I couldn't find broken glass, but would razor blades and barbed wire do?
