Reminiscent of Jean Prouve except is solid steel. They must weight a ton!

And the use of this is ?

Zum, these would look smashing in an overgrown public park. Heavy and durable.

Inspiring. I can see this fitting in to the Covent Garden Rock Garden, or on the set of the Matrix or Mad Max, sort of a post apocalyptic furniture range, where in the future furniture designers survive as a renegade tribe only in one last fortress Heals outpost in desert landscape where they continue to carry out the good work for the benefit of society using only the most rudimentary manufacturing techniques on basic materials such as pig iron and used car parts to a heavy rock soundtrack.

Dude, Tom,
I see you are returning to your welding roots.
But, cmon, looks like a Robin Day on Steroids while waiting for the tube on the platform.
Ok, public seating, outdoors, vandalproof… but man, the side table, chez longue etc. shows you want some Ultra wealthy dude (or dudette) to come and buy it. Donate part of the production to local councils (or Batman film set) that would appreciate them! Do these in wood, man they would look awesome!
(I secretly am strangely attracted to them…but thats just me!)
