We’ve been planning for some time to introduce a couple of knew post categories, and since I feel so bad for leaving many of you in the lurch with that last one, I thought it’d be prudent to lay one on you.
This week’s installment of Belgian Products comes to us from a window front in Liege. You might be able to find it, if you ever attempt to follow the signs to the city centre, but you’ll also be forced to walk about 3 miles next to absolutely nothing while you contemplate whether Liege is actually a city. Of course, if you completely ignored the signs and many maps that litter the path from the train station up the riverfront, you’d be able to completely skip this store front, along with about 2 miles of boring. As a result, you’d get to the city centre much more quickly than we did. But then again, you’d never know about this fantastic Belgian product.
Yes, it’s the saddle chair, and though it’s available all over the world, it was the first time we’d ever seen one, and it was featured pretty prominently in one Belgian window display.
So what is it that could possess someone to purchase one of these maniacal, medieval torture chairs? Well, maybe you enjoy coming home from work with sadle sores. Perhaps you’re looking for another reason to wear those spiffy, $50 cycling trunks with the maxi pad in them in addition to your morning bike ride. Or who knows, maybe you’re sick of having that pesky external genitalia.
Or maybe you think they’re … comfortable? But then you’ll have to try to convince me that this woman looks comfortable.
Whatever the reason, we hope not too many Belgians are using these at the office. It could spell disaster for their birthrate.
