Zanuso deserves credit of course, but his chair's use of sheet metal forming is analogous to car body panels, whereas what Dietz has done is to mirror the semi-monocoque construction of the car, producing a far stronger chair, hence the name Chassis.

More a design chair for designers... What does this chair solve for the user i mean ?

Most design is incremental improvement, I prefer to judge a design on it's own merits, not inflated claims and this chair is a sophisticated assemblage, it doesn't need the hype. I suppose it's the nature of PR though. It doesn't matter to me either.

It seems it made to production finally. I love it from the first moment I saw it :) For me it doesn't really matter if it made mentioned milestone or not. It was on Stefans page for quite some time.
