Interesting stacking plastic chairs, the Eames lounge looks nice.
I can see the (scant) humour...
I can see the (scant) humour and I like the fact they're not being produced which communicates the idea without wasting the resources.
But whats not so good is when this sort of thing (and theres a lot of it) gets pumped out not to fill a need but only to gratify the cognoscenti.
There has always
been a cognoscenti, and one hopes that there will be one in the future; if not, what are WE doing here ? But what fun would we have if we didn't think that our tastes are those that will be of use, sooner or later, to the larger audience (i.e., the "consuming public") ? No ? Well, whatever.
As for these odd plastic stacking "knock-offs": only one of them seems to be a possibly accurate representation of the original; the Mies and Corbu forms are so distorted by a) the need to stack and b) the material (resin) that they are insults to the designers they ape. The Corbu chair becomes something nasty found at Stacks & Stacks or maybe the pet store !
I'd like to see more of the plastic Eames lounger (as it seems to be called now). Maybe we have a new contender for 'best rethinking of a classic/best outdoor furniture' ?
