Designer/artist Daniel Hulsbergen has created a candle chair, and whilst I’d very much like to saddle it with with some ponderous vestigal academia, I think the phrase “melting furniture” says it all. I did manage to find Hulsbergens description of the chair:
The chair represents the time aspect that furniture nowadays is undergoing. Like fashion it is going so fast that we do not appreciate furniture like we used to. Temporality sucks!
Yes, Daniel, it does suck. And so does trying to use your furniture. Unless you want to hang yourself. Well done, Daniel, you’ve furthered the cause of hanging for decades to come.

Now I don’t know art, but I do know aesthetics and I do know waste of time when I see one.
Oh, and I don’t this this falls into art in any way, it’s “artsy” but not “art”.

there is so many things I could think of that should be made out of candles. A chair is not one of them.
