Ever broken a leg? Know how much hassle it is to stumble around in crutches? Designer Yong-Rok Kim’s Crutch Chair is intended to be a partial solution to the problem of knackering yourself out when walking like that. The two halves of his design snap together to structure a neat seat-like thing so you can take the weight off your injury. Seems a darn sensible concept. With just one concern: that connection. Will you break your other leg when it gives way as you sit? Death by crutch it shall be! It’s just a concept— we imagine it’d be boring gray or “medical pink” whether it were ever made real.
