The Last Shift Office Chair Favorite 

"The Last Shift Office Chair" is a project that features chairs to die for ... literally.

The project was created by a UK designer that goes by the name Chairbox, and includes handcrafted office chairs where the body of the chair eerily resembles a coffin. The inspiration came while lying on the floor of his friend's living room with his legs up on the couch. Chairbox told Designbloom, "I thought that if I die in this pose they might have to bury me like that. It would be so inconvenient to put me in a coffin. They probably would need a special coffin in this case. I told my friend about it, and we laughed, but after a couple of weeks, I returned to that idea and explored it a bit more. Later, I made a 3D model in CAD software, rendered it, and posted online."

Despite the original humor behind the idea, this project grew to mean more as Chairbox aims to tell stories through his work, through his play on the average consumer products.

"While we spend most of our time at work, grinding through the day, most of us can't afford some basic things. The gap between rich and poor is growing exponentially. What's shocking is that it's widely accepted by society, it became a norm that we spend our lives at work slowly killing ourselves and getting almost nothing out of it.

The whole grind culture is just wrong, it feels to me like voluntary slavery. We've been gaslit into thinking that this is life as it supposes to be. We sit in those coffins and generate value for the stakeholders, but once the time has come they nail the lid and roll us to the corporate cemetery."
