Would Sitting On This Bar Stool Gross You Out?

Hair that’s not attached to people’s heads can be pretty gross. Like the chunks your roommate left in the shower drain. Or the hair bunnies you find under your bed. So, we’re not sure how we feel about the PrettyPretty seating collection designed by Dejana Kabiljo. They’re sort of gross but also quite pretty—just look at those glistening, well-conditioned locks! Made from horsetail hair, PrettyPretty seating comes in either a pouf (photo after the jump) or bar stool style with the hair either free-flowing or tied down, and Philippe Starck even chose the stool version for the main bar of the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. How would you feel about sitting atop a hunk of shiny horsehair? [1stDibs via Trend Hunter]

First thought - hi Cousin It! You thought pretending to be a barstool would fool me, but this game of hide’n'seek is over!
Second thought - ew.

Ok, so maybe these would be interesting conversation starters the first night they were used. But imagine them after closing. Even the swankiest bargoers spill drinks, food, etc. Ugh. Also, having to comb your barstools? Unnecessary.

It just looks completely impractical to me. Wouldn’t it be easy to tear the hair off if you move improperly? Also I can’t imagine its easy cleaning that if liquid or food gets caught in the hair. Cool in concept, not in reality

@spatula: It’s called the lap juicer. It was an art project a couple years ago, and now it sits in the Sex Museum in NYC.

Uh, yes. Major issues. Looks like a bad weave. I don’t wear bad weaves. (Haven’t worn a weave since I went natural 3 years ago.)He’d have a bit of explaining to do, coming home with a few horse hairs hanging out his a**.
