Non-curved model that can be made from a single piece of plywood:

Since they rely on curves for the sitting surface, they should have done a proper saddle chair shape instead. The current design prioritize the manufacturer/corporation over the user/human. This is a failure on my book.

In the thumbnail concept sketch it shows someone sitting in it with their arm hanging over one of the “armrests”. What the sketch doesn’t convey is the blood flow to their arm being cut off.

At first it appears to be a single part, but it’s really four parts, plus twelve connector pins.

As publicidades que mais odeio: Internet (roubam sua privacidade, lateralizam seu pensamento). Embalagens (prefiro as embalagens Dharma, militares e soviéticas: sem cores ou textura, so informações). E de produtos: a mais pura inovação (o lixo da minha cidade é cheio de inovações). A que mais vou odiar no futuro: as embutidas na IA.

I don't love it immediately, and yes, in fiberglass this chair doesnt sound too comfortable. But if it were made in leather, I could see it becoming very comfortable indeed, and the keather would also nod to the very obvious saddle shape.

(Always good to see common objects reimagined, even if they might not seem "right", they get a conversation started.)

That looks awfully uncomfortable, I suspect that it will rapidly fall apart under stress and leave nice sharp splinters of fibreglass everywhere, including in your skin.

This person is very talented but that chair looks super uncomfortable. Resting you arms on those thin armrests will hurt within seconds. But that's exactly the type of furniture my mom loves :)

It's cool but that rounded seat looks very uncomfortable. I could imagine it as a great item for a child's room though, if they could build it themselves from the flat sheet.

What an awesome website!

> Made from durable fiberglass panels

What sort of fiberglass bends as much as depicted without breaking?

I love the way it looks.. but I did not think about how it may feel.. It could be a MOMA piece tho..

I wish they had shown a real version of the chair with a real human sitting on it.

Come for the chair.. stay for the statues dressed in clothes.. made my day

The screws on the bottom will be under lots of strain I imagine

Looks extremely uncomfortable and unstable.

Except that I just don't subscribe to the idea that flatpackedness should be the guiding principle of furniture design.

Nice tall backrest, angled inward so that only the top corner slices into your back and nothing else makes contact.

...Also I hope you don't have any bones in your butt
