Great design, waiting for the right application.

Souvik, it’s not a bad idea, though the market is probably smaller than for (say) Hannah Montanna-branded furniture.

If there is anything I need from the furniture I use while gaming, it’s back support: and this contraption looks to be the total opposite of that.

Pity, I’ve already finished my thesis. This bench somehow makes me think I’d have finished it a lot sooner if I had a ‘Jesper’ bench with some ‘Deleuze’ cushions and a ‘Bogost’ backrest.

Ikea could sell the whole combination as ‘games + theory aid’ (GTA). By the way, Jesper, your theories are not at all uncomfortable but this bench certainly does look dubious on the comfort scale. It looks like an ironing board bent out of shape or a ‘Tetris’ block as someone has already said. You sure it all connects?

Looks like an overgrown Z-block to me. And I’m pretty sure it’d be more useful in playing Tetris than using it as furniture.

My aim in life is to make theory that makes people feel uncomfortable!

(OK, so that isn’t really my aim in life.)

No offense to you, but that bench looks really uncomfortable! :)
