Okay, so the Internet is a wondrous place with many mesmerizing capabilities that we are not going to mention here and now. What we are going to mention, though, is the Internet’s ability to make everything funny. Think about it - if not for this cyberspace, you would’ve never laughed at a bowl of salad, an oddly shaped potato, and definitely, absolutely not at funny furniture. That’s right, furniture design can also be hilarious, but you might’ve never thought about it. Thank God for the Internet!
In this list of weird furniture, you’ll find side tables that’ll tickle your fancy, sofas that will make you giggle, chairs to laugh out loud at, and commodes that’ll elevate your further understanding of ‘fun’ for a lifetime. And it is absolutely okay to laugh, even if it’s an armchair that’s literally making a joke. Or was made to be one - it all depends on the way you look at it. And you know what, we truly do think that these unique furniture pieces weren’t designed by accident, but rather by people with an excellent sense of humor who intentionally wanted their odd furniture to raise a smile whenever someone looked at them. And we could do more with such lighthearted, humorous things in our lives, where everything seems to be going toward clean, even heartless, minimalism.
Now, you might not agree with the last sentence, but we bet you’ll agree that these are some pretty hilarious furniture pieces once you take a look at the photos below. And since we don’t have much else to say here, please share your own thoughts on these original furniture pieces once you’re done looking at them; we’re honestly curious to hear from you! Lastly, be sure to share this article with anyone who’s into furniture design or just needs an original bit of pick-me-up content.

The Only Art Gallery With A Conjoined Chair. If You Sit, We Click
I feel like this one needs a motor so it spins when people are sitting on it
It's called a conversation chair. Popular in Victorian days. If one was courting a young lady..one seat was for the lady. The other her bo and the last was for the female chaperone most likely an elderly aunt or family friend. I have one of these in my sunroom or atrium I bought at a fleamarket for 30$ in 94. I have had many parties where friends family sat in the chair! They all found it fun to sit and easy to have Intimate conversations!
This reminds me of the "conversation seat" in the living room of the 1950s Addams Family...

I could be wrong, but it looks like you might be able to use it as a very low to the ground chaise lounge, too, if it's flipped so that what is now the seat becomes the back. Maybe the legs are easily removed so you can use it that way.
That's what I was about to type. It looks like u it can go either way and for that I like it. And either way is the top when down the spiral part could be the "pillow"

Strange Furniture In Jamaica Plain, Boston At Pond
Some benches are made so you can't nap. This is made soo that you can only nap.
"The u-shaped bench is actually a public art exhibit created by loca sculptor and MassArt professor Matthew Hincman in 2006. The longtime Boston resident was inspired to create a mirrored bench during one of his usual walks around the park."
I hope it was created so that homeless people could rest somewhere off the ground.
Load More Replies...https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/jamacia-pond-bench --- How did a piece of guerrilla art find its home alongside Jamaica Pond, hiding in plain sight among Boston’s string of parks known as the “Emerald Necklace?” The park was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, and the benches that line the park’s paths all looked like you would expect. Until 2006, when a Massachusetts College of Art & Design associate professor named Matthew Hincman tried to do something about that. The result is the Jamaica Pond Bench. The curious bench is u-shaped, having no discernible front side; only two backs. Hincman himself calls it a “guerrilla” piece of public art, which he first snuck into a row of benches without, shall we say, official Parks Department approval. According to Hincman, after he installed the bench: “It took the City of Boston approximately one week to discover that the bench was there, and then another four days to figure out it wasn’t a City approved project.”
