I mean, it's a chair, right? It would be rather uncomfortable to sit in. This is more of an art or design statement than anything practical.

It would be rather uncomfortable to sit in.

I was trying to place specifically who or what this evoked. Actually a furniture line inspired by Leigh Bowery would be worth looking into. @nidge– you are spot on!

Why not? Chairs has been one of the main pieces for designers to express their creativity and ideas through the times. i can see and feel the suppression and i also believe that every user can translate it into his/her experiences and picture personal moments of unexpressed emotions. Now if i break down the elements of function of the chair i would say that i can see the bump on the bottom to be very useful positioning our legs in different ways, as we always do when we sit on a chair, the one the back though i think it could be useful as a cushion and support for our heads but saying that, i think is no tvery functional size wise. It should've been a bit smaller. overall i think is a good piece of work. i think is very interesting piece of furniture. Why not?
