Design can be judged by looking of one piece only. It may be one of a series. The Eames can be well known by creating the wall unit only. the wall unit is very nice but it cant be that desireable if they dont have any other design other than the wall unit.
HP,
What about this chair doesn't work for you?
I like the asymmetry, the orthogonal planes in surprising compositions and pleasing combining of colors and materials. I like that someone has taken the cube and not so much deconstructed it as reduced it to intersecting planes.
Compare this with one of Corbu's cube chairs with the chrome frames. Corbu's cube chair, a hugely admired classic, is symmetrical and heavy and hogs materials. It is about surface and mass. This chair is light, surprising and would fit wonderfully in a corner or out in open space. Its many surfaces ultimately comprise a space, rather than being about the surfaces. It works for me.
With all due
respect (and without questioning your choice) those are some lame objections. . .! The finish LOOKs toxic: ??
Anyway, here are some precedents, dating from 1923 to 1960:
Jan Pieter Dirk van Gelder, pair of model chairs c. 1920's
Gerrit Rietveld, "Berlin Chair," 1923
Gerrit Rietveld, "Steltman Chair," 1960
Sorry,
I wasn't aware that some colors were more likely to emit than others -- if that's what you're saying ?
The asymmetry is probably the most interesting thing about these pieces. Note that the Berlin chair is seen in both right- and left-handed versions, while both of the van Gelder models (these are about six by seven inches) are of the same hand.
It is a little hard to judge any of these chairs without knowing for sure how big they are. There is nothing in any of the photos to give them scale -- and chairs can have widely varying seat heights. The Berlin Chair is 106 cm high, with a seat height of 50 cm; the Steltman measurements are 70 and 40 cm.
