This is not a more successful realization of a concept; it is a small scale copy model, that you couldn’t even sit on. The original bench is actually manufactured and marketed, has been designed for manufacture, troubleshooted in production etc. It is as if someone made one of those a small scale plastic models of a train (or car, or plane, whatever you wish), take a picture of it, and call it your design because you painted it a different color that what is suggested on the box. If you’re going to get inspired (copy) an idea, at least make the effort of making it better, real, full-scale, troubleshooted, put it in production, test it against the market, and then, and only then we’ll call it a more successful realization of a concept.

So come on, now. This isn’t about naysaying, it is about a quest for actual design.
