The No Soul for Sale exhibition organized by X Initiative had one really interesting entry. That is the Pool Noodle Roof by Jeffrey Inaba. This colourful ensemble is situated on the roof of the old Dia space in Chelsea. The major feature of this is that it can provide both comfort and unease. Because of its intricate details and patterns, these pool noodle seats took around 750 hours to construct, 5 hours per chair. The funniest feature of this chair is that it lets out a message – ‘bububluooopppp,’ which is supposed to be the sound of something either sinking or rising, a commentary on the uncertain state of art and design (markets) and the world in general.

Hilarious. But creative and kind of unique.
