The Chair/Chair can be disassembled into 5 distinct pieces which if arranged in the right order, form the letters C-H-A-I-R! Pretty brilliant concept, don’t you think?

Wise words on the Chair/Chair from the Eric Ku’s official site:

An inspiration from the American contemporary artist Joseph Kosuth, One and Three Chair. Instead of giving new definition, I redefined the concept of a chair by using alphabet. One is able to construct a chair by assembling the redesigned alphabets
