Great innovation but perfection is not for this world: 3 holes in stool is a problem when i use it as a small table … or may be a small putting green….
I need more colors, more humor… more smile design…

Nice connection details, nice top edges. Concerned about wear at base of the legs over time. Will there be a solid foot cap or glide?

Went to make sure it was still nice at the RCA show.

It was.

Maybe best in show?

Come on, several companies in the US already commercially produce plywood tubes for applications including lightweight furniture… and the same rolled paper method has been done too, i think not commercially, but developed by some craftsman in the UK -1970/80′s? I’ll try and dig out a reference.

The pieces are quite cute, but let’s be clearer about what innovation actually being claimed here. Precedent research is not just about googling!
