I'm old!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this guy's work [Warning: Way NSFW] more than a little disturbing. He bills it as "erotic furniture" but the disembodied parts of womanhood distress me. The boob bowl could be kinda cute in a perverted way, but the bedstands and table legs that are nothing but the lower half of a woman "put into service" are just, dunno, disgusting is the first word that comes to mind. I kinda like any woman I meet to be in one piece.

I guess the boob bowl doesn't bug me so much because it's abstract enough. There's no suggestion of dismemberment to it.

The wardrobe seems okay to me too, because it looks like a painting and not so...3-D. The tables with the drawers are really scary.

(Ace! Fancy meeting you here. :)

wow. I'd definitely call that sexual objectification.

Not related at all, but...

Doesn't bother me, though not much in the consensual realm does. Sort of like Hans Bellmer meets hardwood, though not as dark.

I ran across another page about the furniture, and a link to the creator's site (the site, however, is broken in firefox; it just displays the source of the frame... or at least as much as you can see with scrollbars disabled. His work reminded me of the Korova milk bar from A Clockwork Orange.

I agree with every point you just made. Yuk.

...except for the bowl which is actually kinda neat, I don't think I'd mind that - talk about a conversation piece!

The ones that bother me most are the table with drawer and the chair made of two women's lower halves spliced together. Icky.
