World's Most Ugly Expensive Office Chair

Interstuhl Manufactur is selling a $65,500 office chair. Why is it so expensive? Well for one, it comes with the ottoman, and we all know how expensive those can be. Plus, it's gold plated.

In my book, for $65,500 the chair had better be solid gold, play Doom and fold out into a couch. But trust me on this: no one making a $65,500 chair gives a crap about my book. – Mark Wilson

...but it would be worth it for grandma. Especially if she makes you those def cookies.

For $65K this chair should have jet rockets and lasers. And a 7.1 THX surround system that supports DVD, SACD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray...

Again with the Doom.

P.S. I might consider buying that chair if I was the Dalai Lama's Secret Santa. Even then, I think he would at least expect Shiatsu Massage.

you guys ARE geeks!

If I buy a chair for $10K it'd damn well better give me blowjob and swallow - at the VERY LEAST - you can imagine what I'd want from a chair costing $65K!

I think for 65 grand, the least I'd expect is upholestery that doesn't look like Barney threw up on it after blowing the Teletubbies...

$65,500 for a solid gold chair? That much would buy you about a 2 inch cube of Gold. I'm not sure if you could make a chair out of that. Apart from maybe the worlds flimsiest chair.

Are you talking about Ikea furniture again?

I can see Kim Jong Il sitting in this chair sipping brandy as his nuclear team nervously explain the low yield test...

The horrid pattern is necessary to obscure the two female dwarf ninja's that come tied to the back? Releasing them to engage in comical murder of strangers followed by wang mouthification (for chair's owner, naturally) is simple and easy, although I'm regretting having the option package that includes severing their vocal cords and power leash retraction. Accident waiting to happen if you ask me.

If I ever were to buy a chair for $65k, It better do everything for me cause I wouldn't be getting up from it (Chair/Toilet/Car/Fridge/Freezer/BeerDispenser/MaleSexToy/FemaleSexToy/Bed/Computer COMBO)

For that much dough, it better be vista combatible.

There's a platinum lace doily too, but that'll set you back another $15K

That is one disgusting looking chair, any chance that for $65k they'll at least let me customize the pattern? I mean, wouldn't a gold Ms. Pac Man look better?

You guys have hopefully all heard the saying "He/She/It fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down". In this case, the "ugly tree" was felled, and with the wood they made this chair.

That would explain the price too.

I actually built GorillaSite.com and they are selling interstuhl's line including the Mitos(which is actually a wicked chair). I was kind of snickering at first when I saw some of the prices. I mean... I'm a programmer, a chair is an important thing to me, but I'm not dropping a grand on one, who would? Sure enough, there's like CEO's or VIP's or whatever buying the 3k Silver(which is basically the same thing as the gold, just not "gold") by the dozens so I'm guessing they're using them for fancy conference rooms and such. Interstuhl has an interactive demo which is pretty cool, but I had a hard time finding good pics of the chair to throw up on the site. I would like to actually see a picture of an office environment utilizing these chairs.
