If there were ever a case study regarding the fine line of “Knowing when to say when” I am sure several inches would be given to the design below.

A group of Swedish Designers, Humans Since 1982, just completed a design that’s sure to draw protests: A wire-mesh lounge, supporded by the structure of a prone cross—letting you sprawl out in the same pose as Jesus on the Cross.
As a true proponent of free speech and an fan of interesting design I can appreciate the integration but the piece itself still leaves me far from comfortable. To look at the piece I think about the response I received when I asked asked a family friend why he prayed. “I don’t know if God is real but if he is I don’t want to be the only cat that did introduce himself” To that end I don’t think I want to be the guy caught loungin’ in this bad boy if and when his son decides to pop back up on the scene. To each his own but you will catch nary a piece of my nerve or sinew seated in this provocative work of art.- Buie
