Yup, that wins in simplicity, but a deckchair is almost as simple, and is a lot more comfortableby stoobs

This should be the top response tbh.by northernsausage

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.by PetitPrince

Indeed, looks super uncomfy.And yeah, I helped a friend who's a furniture designer [1] for a few years.
After a while, when you 'beta test' pieces in development a lot, you understand that looks are great but comfort always wins.

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.by stoobs

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.)

Leather would not provide the tension needed for this. You'd need a core maybe of something else.by lopis

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.by nkrisc

If it doesn’t give you Saturday night palsy it isn’t a chairby madaxe_again

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 :)by glimshe

A lot of other modern furniture looks like it was just the default in CAD. Ie completely rectangular arm rests with sharp edges etc. I get that a car like Ford Sierra looked featureless and too simple in its time, I guess it seemed like lazy design. Where were all the trims and grilles and fenders and in general the "borders between things"? But I think it didn't hurt its usability.by Gravityloss

> Made from durable fiberglass panelsWhat 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..by poody

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.by esperent

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

I came here to post the same thing, this is the only thing that matters."I want to see it work on a person. I want to see a negative before I provide you with a positive."

The screws on the bottom will be under lots of strain I imagineby smusamashah
8/21/2026 at 10:32:47 AM
Also, depending on how flexible the material is, it looks like those screws might scratch the floor on which the chair sits?by rob74
8/21/2026 at 12:17:49 PM
And, unfortunately, strain in the wrong direction, as the bottom plate will want to flatten out. It doesn't look like this chair will last more than a few days before dropping you on the screws.by stavros

Except that I just don't subscribe to the idea that flatpackedness should be the guiding principle of furniture design.by kleiba2

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
