Phatty Lowboy (with Mini Lowboy in the foreground), a lounge chair made from a 4' by 5' sheet of plywood, a robot overlord cutting machine, and no glue or nails. Design (without reach) by Rick Mclain, Simon Kim, and me. (Cambridge, MA)

I think it's very pretty. and if someone attacks whilst you are lounging, just lean back and send those pointy chair legs out to poke 'em through. it's a secret ninja chair. do the MIT people know that?!

Ninja or lithotomy chair?
Both would suggest this was designed by men.

That is really excellent Tom--if you have an extra model, I will pay you $50.

One question: how is the torque factor? Take the top end and twist clockwise, the bottom, counter clockwise. Did you use 1337 skills to fit everything so tight that there is no give?

Being based on a motorcycle seat would also suggest it was designed by men...
