There has been a lot of debate about who first came up with this design concept. Many have speculated and attributed it to all kinds of designers in town, however from the investigation, we found out that that coffin-shaped chair was designed by Chairbox.  Chairbox is one of the foremost UK chair designers, he came up with this amazing concept.

It was named ‘The Last Shift Office Chair.’ However, contrary to popular opinions about the source of the inspiration for the office chair, Chairbox revealed that he got inspired at his friend’s place, he was lying on the floor with the 2 legs on the couch. According to him he wasn’t convenient and never imagined himself buried that way and so he decided to come up with an office chair that looks like a coffin. He believed employers could use it to bury workers who died at work.

He discussed it with his friend but they joked about it. But he was serious about it and decided to work on the designs. Within weeks, he worked on some designs on CAD Software. He was able to generate amazing 3D designs which were then posted online.  Since it has been posted online there has been a lot of buzz about it.
