Really beautiful and complex piece to achieve in 3D and even more in the real life. Maybe with Tsplines it wouldn´t be such a headache to model it.
I respect those who don´t like this design, but maybe they don´t know how hard it really is to start designing this kind of “non explodable-out of the box” objects (much similar as nature models).

If its a “bone chair” I think a love seat with RIBS and tucks isnt out of the question.

Also a CHROME one seems to be appropriate as well…since all of that structure is kind of overkill…for a human.

Might as well BLING IT OUT more !!!!

I think lots of folks who commented on this are just playa-hatin’. This is good, innovative design that has been critically acclaimed, plus it’s not your idea so you cannot limit it by trying to define it.

Are most of these people just mad becuse they didn’t get the idea first?

very interesting.. yet seems a bit too heavy.. legs could be more explored.. they kinda just hit the ground. Love to sit in it..

too much excess, this can still be refined and reconfigured to reach elegance

Should be delicate – just looks clumsy and heavy.

On the contrary I think it is exploring different materials very interesting. Its nice that the aluminum one is thinner than this. Its a new step, if you like it or not.

this is another sad display of MAYA design, anyone with a knowhow of Maya can do it, I personally do not support this type of design, here’s why:

no thought is put into how its going to be built or exploiting material properties (think Eames), its always…”oh we’ll build it out of concrete, or fiber glass”.

is this what design should constitute? perhaps if he found a way to build it out of wood or some other type of material, then it would be stunning.

How do you know it’s Rhino?
Rhino really saved a lot of designer though.
