For the chairs I have to say that I think that the work looks halfway finnished really. They are funky for shure but probably not verry attractive for café owners. Ergonomics aside (that takes some further work) the storages will probably need to be cleaned from breadcrums, spilled soda and paper (people will use it as trashbins eventually) at the end of every day. Im a fan of the table. The balance in the legs you have designed gives it a really neat position. I whould like one for myself if the glasssurface was a bit bigger I think. Personally I think that the way the diameter of the glass and the shelf underneth is the same makes it look a bit chubby, also spilled soda/coffe will be less likely to pour straight onto the stuff you put under it). But I am a fan nomatter what! Nice work Kaman. /Rikard Zetterlund Hey, good work :)

Have you considered marketing to schools these amazing chairs? I know its far from your design target market, however, I could see schools ordering these. Teachers and kids would love them!

Now the family needs a pet to sit under the table. Very nice project with a good conceptual and critical foundation. Thanks for sharing it.
