It's been almost a week since the viral tweet(opens in new tab) showing off those coffin office chairs took off and ignited the imaginations of the chronically online. Those perfectly angular shapes, wood crafted exteriors, and most importantly undead vibes have me craving the coffice chair of my dreams, and the internet is letting me down.
The appeal of a coffice chair goes far beyond just mere aesthetics, it's about nailing a mood. Nothing quite says trapped in the office like a chair shaped like a coffin. The perfect throne for a Zoom call to let everyone know just how your Monday is going. Or maybe you were sent a malicious GIF through Team(opens in new tab)s and are just pre-empting the inevitable.
Let's ramp up the dramatic flair and visualise with me for a second. You're in your office, back turned to the door leaning into the lining of your, hopefully much more comfortable than it looks, chair. Someone enters, so you perform the dramatic swivel offered by the office portion of the chair and face them. There you are, a scowl in the darkness of your coffin. If you do it right they might just even leave without asking you for anything. Another point for the coffice chair.
With its internet fame and endless possibilities, it's pretty clear that the coffin chair is a win, at least conceptually. What's impossibly clear is that gaming companies have been wasting their time with race car chairs for far too long. To help with the pivot, I have some suggestions for the first one to take the coffice chair of my dreams and turn it into reality.
