Here at Gearfuse, we’ve seen loads of stuff that has no practical use in real world applications. Take that toaster scanner thing for example, a neat idea but totally worthless to anyone who isn’t scamming people by selling Mother Teresa-faced toast on eBay.  We recently took a look at JooYoun Paek’s website. She’s an artist and interactive designer that takes practical things, doubles them, then combines them creating a whole new worthless product no one will ever use. Don’t believe me? Check out her site to see one of the most absurd motor cycle helmets ever conceived. blah blah blahs lbhsldjf

While we applaud her enthusiasm, her latest design, the self-sustainable chair had us in awe. The idea is similar to those cushions integrated into pajamas, where not being able to find a seat is never a problem. It’s claimed to be a wearable piece of furniture taking on the appearance of a dress or garbage bag, whichever you prefer. The rear-end is inflatable, forming into a chair via pumps in the shoes. Paek hopes it will “transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance.”  All it’s really going to do is make you look ridiculous, but being a design from JooYoun Paek, I guess that’s the point.

Editor’s Note: The suit is ridiculous. Watch the video. Read Ryan’s ramblings if you must.

Check this bag design out. See anything wrong with it? Of course you don’t, it looks too hip to have you distracted by flawed design. It’s called Double Bag and the name matches the look. The look being a post-pubescent scrotum after taking a hit from a fastball thrown by Walter Johnson. It reminds me of those portable crutches except without the blue balls.

It’s designed to carry your daily ham and cheese lunch meal with an extra spot for your water bottle conveniently co-joined with the rest of the bag. Yea, the bag hangs over your shoulder like a traditional purse but why in the heck does it need to link up with the other side or be able to break away at all? Sacrificing bag space for nothing more than a K’Nex piece doesn’t seem very ergonomic. You’d be better off with a Mooncloth bag. You can hold more with it and look just as queer.
