Designer Karim Rashid has created this rotational-moulded chair for Italian furniture brand B-Line.
Called Woopy, the hollow plastic chair is moulded in one piece, and can be used indoors and outdoors.
An accompanying footstool, called Snoop, has two pockets reaching into its legs and can be stacked to form a bookshelf.

Doesn't It looks a lot like a Panton Chair?
http://www.moderndesigninterior.com/2010/01/desig…
It Looks like a panton chair but the logic is very different. Personally think the panton chairs are ergonomically and structurally smarter.
one of the most amazing project of Karim ever this armchair..
That metal bar is such a compromise he should not be able to use the term 'designer'
gjs, karim is done as a designer what he produce is sad!!! but the bar is present because it is a bar stool or something its not there for construction purpose
yeah it is basically the panton chair with arms but i still love it (is there a more elegant chair for influence)… interesting that metal bar, must be a reason…? strength? price?? function? maybe the difference between exclusivity and available to the masses?
still all sweet sweet work!!
i think pictures nº 1 and 2 show different models. First one is a chair, the second one is higher, to be used next to a bar, that would explain de metal bar, to rest your feet.
this is a volume panton isn't… this thing doesnt come close to the elegance of the panton chair this so called collection is a waste of material and it isnt even a collection the little tables have a totally different look… please karim stop making things only for money put some soul into it.
its 'lacking'!!!!!
I'm thinking the metal bar is for the taller chairs, and serves as the rail as in a bar stool. But I do agree that I wish it was integrated more into the rest of the chair. All in all enjoyable though.
This piece has nothing in common with the Panton chair, except the surface.. The Panton chair is a classic beauty, this one is pure eyesore…
the table looks like the one step 2 one for Legos. not sure which i like more..
