Hongtao Zhou is a Wisconsin-based sculptor who has created a set of burning chairs out of wax. Call it “Burniture.” According to the artist, over time the chair will burn, melt, and collapse. The chairs have an icy appearance, but generate heat and begin to weaken as the wicks burn.

It’s just that furniture has always been a utilitarian item. Form and function is always considered…and this really has no function…until there’s a power outage that is.
