Not sure how I feel about it.
Makes me feel queasy
Strikes me as a naff 80's/90's post-modern reinterpretation of an iconic design that misses out all the features that made the design work in the first place. Never a good idea.
Having said that, it would be interesting to sit in it and find out how comfortable (or not) the string arrangement on the back was.
Also reminds me of those knock-off Eames shell chairs with the faux-Victorian legs.
