    nice

  2. m! says:

    I think it could be called Bubbles.

    A cloud is very different.

  3. Arjan Scheer says:

    a bit peculiar; Ron Arad as calvinist?

  4. memorexe says:

    it doesn’t seem that comfortable.

  5. Maxence says:

    Is it stackable ?

  6. Nathan says:

    Not so excited about the chair itself, but I would love to see some shots of it being made.

  7. paris-moi says:

    Fantastic piece. You guys are so easy on the trigger to critic other designers work. It would be lovely to see the work done by most of you here. I bet you would be scared shitless to show us all and feel the wrath down your necks.

  8. Boccaccio says:

    I wish it were significantly smaller, had a chin strap and could be worn as a helmet.

    Despite the fact that it cannot be, I still like it, at least in the same way I like portions of Greg Lynn’s design of his own house. Oddly pomo-ish symbology. Somewhat psychadelic. Could somehow end up in a Toys R Us and not look too out of place.

    Kapoor Koons with a sprinkling of Kesey.

    Richard Hutten once stated ‘himself, he would lay a little scapecoat in it’

    It is originally designed for a ‘puppethouse’ for Oog magazine (might also that Oog just was the one to publish it, I don’t know) – so, very small.

    And I’m sorry to say, but I absolutely hate it

  10. Rich says:

    So cute!!!

  11. Bla Bla Bla says:

    I think This is hot.!!!!!!!!!!!
    If you steered your comments correctly with enthusiasm, There may just be a chance of some follow up postings showing how difficult objects such as these are actually produced. EDUCATIONAL
    This forum may actually be a place to learn some serious techniques, instead of a superficial placement of objects for all you sharp shooters!

    Very retro virus.

  13. Xit says:

    Just when we didn’t think it was possible to squeeze another chair from the rectum of design Hutten delivers this chromed hemoroid, so befitting.

  14. Nathan says:

    Yes indeed, how is it produced?! Any guesses?

  15. nuku says:

    it suggest me an insect eye ;-O

  16. ZUY says:

    @ nuku it’s polished, nickel-plated cast aluminium…

    Reminds me of The Bean in Chicago!!!

  20. degs says:

    Even though it’s slightly Ron Aradish, I think it still manages to please the eye. Would have loved to see more pics of it’s production. It’s a pity that most designers don’t bother to add some of their concept sketches!
