Non-curved model that can be made from a single piece of plywood:

This looks impossibly uncomfortable though. The backrest looks like it's pushing you off the seat and the chairs legs look like they'd pin in your own. No thanks!!

Yup, that wins in simplicity, but a deckchair is almost as simple, and is a lot more comfortable

This should be the top response tbh.

Since they rely on curves for the sitting surface, they should have done a proper saddle chair shape instead. The current design prioritize the manufacturer/corporation over the user/human. This is a failure on my book.

Indeed, looks super uncomfy.
And yeah, I helped a friend who's a furniture designer [1] for a few years.
After a while, when you 'beta test' pieces in development a lot, you understand that looks are great but comfort always wins.

In my mind, the chair is meant to deform some, such that the curved seat gives a bit. But that might just be in my mind

At first it appears to be a single part, but it’s really four parts, plus twelve connector pins.

As publicidades que mais odeio: Internet (roubam sua privacidade, lateralizam seu pensamento). Embalagens (prefiro as embalagens Dharma, militares e soviéticas: sem cores ou textura, so informações). E de produtos: a mais pura inovação (o lixo da minha cidade é cheio de inovações). A que mais vou odiar no futuro: as embutidas na IA.

In the thumbnail concept sketch it shows someone sitting in it with their arm hanging over one of the “armrests”. What the sketch doesn’t convey is the blood flow to their arm being cut off.

If it doesn’t give you Saturday night palsy it isn’t a chair

I don't love it immediately, and yes, in fiberglass this chair doesnt sound too comfortable. But if it were made in leather, I could see it becoming very comfortable indeed, and the keather would also nod to the very obvious saddle shape.
(Always good to see common objects reimagined, even if they might not seem "right", they get a conversation started.)

Leather would not provide the tension needed for this. You'd need a core maybe of something else.

That looks awfully uncomfortable, I suspect that it will rapidly fall apart under stress and leave nice sharp splinters of fibreglass everywhere, including in your skin.

This person is very talented but that chair looks super uncomfortable. Resting you arms on those thin armrests will hurt within seconds. But that's exactly the type of furniture my mom loves :)

A lot of other modern furniture looks like it was just the default in CAD. Ie completely rectangular arm rests with sharp edges etc. I get that a car like Ford Sierra looked featureless and too simple in its time, I guess it seemed like lazy design. Where were all the trims and grilles and fenders and in general the "borders between things"? But I think it didn't hurt its usability.

It's cool but that rounded seat looks very uncomfortable. I could imagine it as a great item for a child's room though, if they could build it themselves from the flat sheet.

What sort of fiberglass bends as much as depicted without breaking?

I love the way it looks.. but I did not think about how it may feel.. It could be a MOMA piece tho..

I wish they had shown a real version of the chair with a real human sitting on it.

The screws on the bottom will be under lots of strain I imagine
rob746 hours ago
Also, depending on how flexible the material is, it looks like those screws might scratch the floor on which the chair sits?
stavros4 hours ago
And, unfortunately, strain in the wrong direction, as the bottom plate will want to flatten out. It doesn't look like this chair will last more than a few days before dropping you on the screws.

Looks extremely uncomfortable and unstable.

Except that I just don't subscribe to the idea that flatpackedness should be the guiding principle of furniture design.

Nice tall backrest, angled inward so that only the top corner slices into your back and nothing else makes contact.
...Also I hope you don't have any bones in your butt
