real good?

Can't help in the comfort/quality department. Visually, I'd leave it as is, cushions stowed away unless needed.
Reminds me of an iconic design....

I agree with the stealth-comparison, but I think the base looks too "old" in its Jacobsen-style for the seat.
Too bad they don't offer a matching cushion as magis does for Grcic's chair one. the price is quite fair though.

Yes
I think the base looks like it belongs to a much older chair
I admire the newness of the seat..wish it carried through to the base

Is it
just possible that the shapes of the seat and back, rather than being different for the sake of novelty, result from the logic of the (yes, novel and original) method of manufacture and self-assembly -- and that the legs, despite or because of their also being logical, are more familiar looking ? In other words, is the whole affair meant to be efficient and practical first, and "artistic" second ?
The point of all this is that, from the designer's point of view, those two factors -- function and form -- rightly occur in that order, while to the user/observer, the order is typically reversed: we appreciate first the form, and then learn (by using, and by discovering) what the functional requirements and benefits were/are.

My appreciation for this chair comes from the fact that it is designed to ship completely flat - keeping costs down. I think it's a very utilitarian design - meant to perform first and be aesthetically pleasing second. The legs are rather plain - but how else could they look when it it performing the task with the minimum of parts? It needed 4 lightweight, low profile metal legs .... anything to that program looks vaguely like an "H" base. I think it's a good example of affordable good design that's actually pretty damn great. Most other options at $99 are not nearly as fresh - at best, they are usually poorly built knock offs.
While this chair could remind us of McCobbs fiberglass chair, I think it is a function of function ... the way the chair is designed to fold out. The engaging of the end user (to bend it into shape) is another thing I like about this chair. When you involve the user, you pull on their sentimental heart strings - your design develops a relationship with the buyer. Anyone who has ever built something knows the attachment you get to that object - because of being involved with it.

I agree
The primary appeal in this design is the flat-pak and relatively simple self-assembly... folding steel seems fun. I do wonder about the comfort and whether the edges/corners of the seat may be an annoyance if not slightly dangerous.

Comfort is subjective
I popped into Vessel in Boston to try one of these out earlier in the summer. Unfortunately it was gay-pride and I was a wee bit tipsy - but I recall the chair as being comfortable enough as a side chair. That is - it didnt scream "ouch" when I sat down.
Agree with the chair focusing on function first, aesthetics second. In many ways thats why I really like Grcic's work. It almost always puts aesthetics in a second place to function - which is why the forms seem shocking and new. But because the function works properly we are able to accomodate the odd forms.
In my new place I'm thinking about getting 2-3 of his Mayday Lamps for my workspace.
