… I wonder why their text explaining the chair almost sounds like an excuse? It sounds like they had a big fight getting this chair right.

Itsashame they added the fluo detailing, especially the Gstring. It distracts in a very aggressive way, unlike the other beautiful and very tactile work from Hella.

It’d be great if the chair had more references to the charming worker sofa

Doesn’t feel like it has a resonance with contemporary issues.
I would call this: ’slightly-decorative modernist.’

I love this!
Almost all of Hella’s work is phenomenal.

Don’t know if I like this……. and what do they mean with affordable?

Bourroulec Bros Steelwood chair is way beter as this one when it comes to using wood as an “historical material” in an modern day chair. IMO
