choosing an emotion

I decided I wanted my chair to make the user feel uneasy and unsettled by the design of my chair, to achieve these feelings my thoughts were to incorporate a distressed look to my chair. I also wanted my chair to look unstable and balanced, to give the message that it is barely holding its own weight let alone the weight of the user, my reasoning for these features are I want the user to feel weary about sitting on the chair, causing them to slowly lower themselves onto the chair.

I began looking at objects that also cause these feelings in people and write quick points why they make me feel unsettled, uneasy or weary
