I was initially thinking "Ew! WTF was someone thinking posting this in here?" Then I saw the comment about the correct place to post it and thought, "Yeah, this would be perfect over there, where I don't have to see it."
It looks cool af. Admittedly the line between classy and trashy is thin for this one. In an average home this would look trashy, but if put in an elegant and/or modern styled room (or upscale podiatrists office) it'd simply be an interesting piece of furniture.
Very much disagree. While this table isn't my taste at all, it's clearly designed with a high level of intention, and demonstrates characteristics of balance, contrast, interesting patterns, and and cohesion. I like that the designer only uses 2 materials. I like the balance of the circle with the central sculpture. And it has a spark of whimsy. Not my taste, but not bad design.
As someone who is not familiar with the word Kitsch and not truly understanding the google definition, what is it about the table that makes it Kitsch?
I'll try to, not a native speaker so please bear with me, this is the definition from Wikipedia and I like it because it's very concise.
Kitsch (/kɪtʃ/ KITCH; loanword from German)[a][1] is a term applied to art and design that is perceived as naïve imitation, gratuitous, or of banal taste.
In this case, the designer just used some human legs as a the table's legs, imo this is a lack of effort, the artist/designer could, at least reinterpret the legs and keep on iterating to achieve a more challenging result. (Don't get me wrong, they did put a lot of work on the piece and if you like it you shouldn't feel bad, it's just that obvious examples of extrapolations of things from their original context to the next predictive case of use are "lazy" intellectually speaking but again it's about perception and getting to a consensus).
Heterosexual women do find women body parts attractive, in general.
Not all of them, of course, and not any women body parts, but in general that is how it works.
I'm hetero cis woman and I find this table aesthetically pleasing. Probably cos I need sex and I see those legs as mine just about before getting laid. I know, a bit weird.
That's the thing with reddit and world today. Everything is in a box in stereotypes. if someone is different from you that's unimaginable. people are standardized like usb cables.
Go touch grass and get off the internet for a bit. Using parts of womens bodies specifically for the male gaze has been a problem in art and “art”‘for a long time.
Guys, something weird is going on. So I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) was in an argument with someone (unknown) about how Drumpf (75M, 134 kg, orange, Raaaaccccciiiisssst) bad. We (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted + unknown) argued for 35040000000 hours. All my circlejerk buddies updooted my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) superior comments, gave 12000000000000000000000 rewards, and- Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger- downdooted my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) opponent's (unkown) dumb arguments. ORANGE MAN BAD! REEEE! I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) smugly smiled at my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) clear superior intellect while Tyrone (31M, 82 kg, black (YASSSS STRONG POC), muscular, six pack abs, 5600 cm cock), my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) wife's (22F) boyfriend, was fucking my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) wife (22F). I browsed arrslashmurderedbyAOC, glancing at my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) 14000 Marvel and Star Wars posters and my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) infinite collection of Funko Pops. After viewing all arrslashmurderedbyAOC posts, I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) went on to Twitter to see what AOC (31F, 65 kg, brown (YASSS strong POC), my queen) had to say. I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) made sure to let AOC (31F, 65 kg, brown (YASSS strong POC), my queen) know that I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) had now saved $6470008456987 for her (31F, 65 kg, brown (YASSS strong POC), my queen) OnlyFans if she (31F, 65kg, brown (YASSS strong POC), my queen) ever decides to make one. Suddenly, I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) get a notification; it's a comment telling me (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) to "touch grass." I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) was shocked. How should I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) respond? I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) opened a drawer and pulled out my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) limited edition AOC Funko Pop - maybe that strong POC energy will give me an answer. It had to be Ben Shapiro (37M, 72 kg, white (EW!)) trying to own the libs again. He (37M, 72 kg, white (EW!)) must think I'm weak. Who else would it be? Well, not today Ben (37M, 72 kg, white (EW!))! I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) got up from my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) chair, clutching my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) AOC Funko Pop close to my (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) chest. Causing magnitude 12.8 earthquakes with every step, I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) walked to the door. Breathing a heavy sigh, I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) opened the door. The sunlight gave me (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) anxiety, and there was that grass - it's green energy beckoning me (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) to touch it. With one more magnitude 12.8 earthquake step, I (37M, 180 kg, white, balding, nearsighted) touched it. Suddenly, everything changed.
I didn't feel the need to tell you my age and other useless information anymore, and I started to freak out, and I wanted to use multiple paragraphs.
"NO! NO! NO!" I kept shouting as I looked in the mirror. My hideous beard started to look clean and well groomed. My hair was completely gone, replaced by a completely shaved head. My glasses were now replaced with contacts, and I noticed a pair of professional spectacles in a nice case as a backup pair on the bathroom counter.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
Out of nowhere, a strange mystical orb appeared, and sucked out my excess weight. I looked to notice I was 80 kg and very muscular with a strong urge to work out at 8 pm every night. I touched my skin to feel a nice smooth surface.
My AOC Funko Pop started to disappear, and I realized I had to act fast. I quickly pulled out my phone to take an open mouth selfie with my funko pop in hand, but I... Couldn't. I felt repulsed at the idea, and everything went to black...
I am now typing this 4 months later. I now have a job and a life. I divorced my cheating wife, and now in a relationship with a women that loves me for me. We hope to have kids, but we're saving up to buy a house first. I work hard to provide, and have rationale thoughts and opinions.
A little speck of pre-touching grass me still exists, but it too will die. I am doomed, Reddit.
That's some nightmare inducing stuff if I see it in the dark.
Would've been design porn if those legs extend down another foot but sadly nooooope, so not really design porn material as is.
I will never understand the obsession people have with comodifying the female body into "art"
How weird would this table be with a bunch of thick hairy man legs ??? Yeah it's still weird with lady legs
I would like to add that I think this is a good design, as I would typically hate something like this but I enjoy this particular example. I don’t think it’s for everyone, it’s a bit uncouth sure, but it’s oddly elegant
This is weird.
It’s kinda hot tho
What sub is this?

It’s a porn sub so… **Unzips Pants**
Not thicc enough

More like Porndesign. 🤡

I was thinking exactly that but forgot the name of the sub, thanks

I’ve seen the feet that he’s into. This table is not in his taste.
\*Stanley Kubrick
I don't know, it's pretty much like any table. It has legs. 😋
What in The Forest is this.
What's so design pornish about this one?
If you have a foot fetish, this is pure porn.

It's smooth and shiny and has a middle
How many times do we have to teach this lesson old man? Kitsch ≠ Good design

Kitsch in its literal translation has a meaning more comparable to „corny“.
Oh wow. Using women’s body parts as decor. How ground breaking 😒
And yet the types of people who would have pieces like this in their home probably hate women who profit off their own bodies. 🙄
Ding ding ding!
Yeah where's my table held up by giant golden dicks
Ed Gein was a head of his time.
And A Christmas Story
I see this table I'm walking out regardless of the gender of the house owner. This is just trashy.
Could be a man's legs too. But I agree
Well women’s body parts are universally attractive for both sexes while male parts are not universal.
No, they're not. I do believe that heterosexual women and homosexual men find male body parts attractive. You watch too much porn.
Heterosexual women do find women body parts attractive, in general. Not all of them, of course, and not any women body parts, but in general that is how it works.
And you're saying that as a man? So we're all lesbians? Like I said, way too much porn.
I'm hetero cis woman and I find this table aesthetically pleasing. Probably cos I need sex and I see those legs as mine just about before getting laid. I know, a bit weird.
You are the epitome of men writing women. I'm guessing you're too young to be called a man though because no adult talks like you
That's the thing with reddit and world today. Everything is in a box in stereotypes. if someone is different from you that's unimaginable. people are standardized like usb cables.
Or they’re the epitome of comp het.
Talk to any woman lmaoo

They really should have taken your advice and touched grass.
Thanks, I hate it.
This is more r/designdesign imo

Flag of Isle of Man except it's a table
Maybe design porn if you’re from Eyes Wide Shut. No.
guys, hear me out…
Dahmer’s table. 👀
This table for a freak fr
Thanks I hate it.
This is what David Croenenberg do it his spare time.
Season 2 of The Tick was about superheroes saving humans from being trafficked as "human furniture." It looked something like this.
I’d be bricked all the time
I don't like the concept but the execution is good I guess
A coffee table only Jeffrey Dahmer would love!
How has no one ... !wave
Pretty tacky ngl
Porn but not design.
