Well, “bok” means “crap” in Turkish (and not as in “bad”, literally “feces”). So at least the name is right on.

Tibo:
It is hard to come with constructive criticism on something that is so way beyond the outer borders of usefulness an aesthetics..
Otherwise I would have come with some tips..

Good luck with your future designcareer!
And please remember to make useful and good looking objects, funny should never be a keyword in a design…

I never said I was in love with this work
i m just saying that you replies were not such creative as it could be
of course non designer can be a part of this , that’s even better
but the fact for me that been in M/NY doesn’t show that’s good but just that there is an interest for it and we got to try to know why
why do they love such slack chair ?

Jose:Oh, and yes, I am a designer too, and have exhibited in M/NY/S, so according to your theory, I must be quite good

I hope not just according to my theory.

J: I’m not a designer that why I asked you
I wanna learn about design that why
I’m just disappointed to not see better comments which could be more
constructive

questions for tibo? are non designers allowed to criticise design? does the fact that it was in Milan make it better? i did not get that.

anyway, i think this is lousy. it sucks.

all those so-called designers who starts to question people who are not designers opt to re-think abt the role of a designer. designed goods are meant to delight. if the mass public hates it, there is probably something wrong with the design/the design is just a mere indulgence of the designer. very irresponsible.

for records, this comment comes from a Designer.

By the way, these pieces of furnishings looks decent.

Tibo: Just because someone has exhibited in Milan/London/Stockholm or anywhere else doesn´t automatically make it a good design…
If you go to Milan (with a critical eye,) there are 5-6 crap designs, that will never get produced (by a real manufacturer, at least) for every 1 good quality design.
In 100% Design, the crap-ratio is more like 15/1, which is manifested each year by the loads of whimsical, useless stuff that cloggs blogs all September…

Oh, and yes, I am a designer too, and have exhibited in M/NY/S, so according to your theory, I must be quite good…

The thing is: the guy got what he wanted – a lot of people talking about him and his work, even though it’s absolute rubbish, and he may never be called a designer.

But what the heck… THEZE AREZ THE INTERWEBZZZ!
