It's art, not furniture.
I like her chess set.

Usually these things are...
Usually these things are subjective, but she refers to them as furniture herself, so theres not much interpretation to do here.

I like some of the
tables. The heavier, wider ones.
The rocking horse---not so much. Unless there's a hand hold at the rear that doesn't show in this photo, it would be difficult for a parent to pick it up and move it. It also looks like it would be rather heavy--also impractical for moving it.

Practical issues.
Bonding a dimensionally dynamic organic material to a rigid inorganic structure in such a way does not bode well for long-term stability in a non-climate-controlled environment.
Aesthetically, it's interesting in concept, but I'm not sure I'd want one in my house.

I'm not so sure. I don't have a problem with defining ART that way -- "He says it's art, so it is" -- but that's only because I'm willing to accept that art can be limitlessly bad.
Furniture, though, has to meet certain subjective requirements. A bent spoon isn't a BAD sofa; it's a non-sofa.

Hmmm
It looks more like furniture to me than a lot of other contemporary designs being passed off as furniture.
At least it's not an old board some old horny dude made in his garage.
