The mimmickry of the design is only visual and for me makes an ugly chair. I don't claim to be 'know' much of the value of established design but alot of it seems to be worthless The chair seems to serve no purpose except maybe the childish notion of a chair actually made of a drinking straw.

This will make the bend very weak over a period of time. Isn't that obvious? if stored and used outdoors the sharp bends will gather dirt and develope rust.
