12 Terrifying Pieces of Furniture That Will Give Your Children Nightmares
Fancy a desk that looks like it's puking its guts out? You're in luck! Plenty of the world's most buzzed-about designers will happily sell you furniture that will make your children cry. Here's some of the most terrifying designs in recent memory:
From the back, Jason Miller's Wooly Chair [2] looks like it's just been covered in an alpaca throw...

This bed [3], also by Bey, would go perfect in the home of Hannibal Lecter:
Of couse, our man Lecter likes memorializing his kills. Ergo, this coffee table [4], with an interior that looks like the splatter pattern at a crime scene:
We weren't kidding about the puking furniture. Nacho Carbonell's "Skin" line [5] has an elastic coating. Simply remove all the chairs innards, and you've got a handy cubby hole:
Poor Nacho. Much like Dr Frankenstein, he's doomed by his creations. Here, he's apparently been swallowed alive by this settee [6]:

Um, remember the dead grandma in Psycho? With a little help from Hannes Grebi, she's got a comfy replacement for her rocking chair [8]. Scream all you want. There's no one around for miles:
This psychotic, ravenous frog apparently crawled out of Hella Jongerius's studio, and won't relinquish its territory on top of this table [9]:
Perhaps if you're keeping a gimp in your basement, you might consider this hammock [10], by Bless:
So it's the year 2100. You're watching your holographic TV, munching a Soylent Green sandwich. The natural world is a distant memory, which only appears as a furniture pattern on this couch [11] by Gaetano Pesce:
Also in 2100, the world is rife with genetic experiments gone wrong, such as these human/animal hybrids that pose as furniture [11] before slurping your brains out with a straw:
