A Basic Instinct Chair ²⁰¹⁸

This chair is reserved for women. It is shaped in such a way that you automatically sit in a position that is usually regarded as being typically male: leaning back confidently, legs apart, not caring about what others might think of you. Designer Anne Aagaard Jensen sees the chair as a contribution to a world in which women are just as free as men, and do not have to behave in the way women are ‘expected’ to. The shape of the seat – coloured with the make-up that women are ‘supposed’ to wear – is deliberately provocative.
