This is not (only) a piece of furniture, but a ceremonial experience.

When you go to a famous blue and yellow Swedish furniture store, you will have to assemble your purchase at home. The so-called “IKEA-effect” happens subconsciously on a psychological level. Because you have built your furniture yourself (partly at least) you form some kind of personal attachment to it.
So.. what if this is reversed; you don’t assemble yourself, you destroy yourself?
It gives you the opportunity to burn the raw chair, bench, table, whatever, wrapped in wire, the you want and to provide an activity for which you can invite friends and family. The process will involve time and this is the time you will remember.
