The only part of this chair that is functionally and aesthetically pleasing is the base. The upper portion of the chair has a number of problems: 1. The back is too high with too great a curvature. The solution: lower the back about 8″ and reduce the curvature by at least 25%. 2.The curvature of the seat is too extreme. The solution: reduce it by at least 1/3 this will reduce the pressure on the legs of the sitter being pushed together. 3. The sloping down of the back where it meets the seat is to severe. The solution: make a cutout at the lower portion of the back and make a reverse curve at the top of the cutout. The cutout should be deep enough so as to relive pressure on the base of the butt. If it’s the form that is all important and not the function (comfort) ignore everything I have written.

maybe they should make it transparent. It would look like a person sitting in the glass if observed from behind.
The form is nice, but the other metal legs are boring.

Zuy, you have far too much time on your hands – why bother posting so many comments that all seem to contradict each other?
Perhaps you should concentrate more on your own work, I for one would love to see what you make.
