He probably meant that the form is organic.

The seat is in the form of a flower.

@Lance
Hmmm, I fail to see how something made out of plastic water bottles can be qualified as ‘Organic’

Yeah, that’s not going to be comfortable at all, regardless of how dense it is; there’s not give. And beds of nails aren’t comfortable, they’re just not as excruciatingly painful as you would expect. No one uses them for furniture, either.

As the bottles are only held by the lids at the bottom i would suspect the would get ripped out as soon as this thing is actually used. Engineering is an art where things look good and ACTUALLY work. Must be nice to design things for a specific purpose and not need them to actually work.

As art, it’s beautiful. It also looks pretty comfortable.

As replicable furniture, I have two questions:

1) Aren’t PET bottles fairly easy to find uses for? I mean, isn’t that easily-recycled plastics (compared with, say, yogurt containers or plant pots or old kid toys or…)?

2) What’s the effective carbon footprint of the steel frame and how does that compare with “standard” furniture (wood, plastic or metal)?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, but maybe someone else does.

Fantastic! The concept, the shape and the color are amazing.
Congratulations!

Speaking of beds of nails, nail beds aren’t uncomfortable at all. There’s so many that no individual nail pokes you. Just as in this design… it’s so dense that I’m sure it’s probably much more comfortable than you’d imagine.

Once I realized what it was made of, I figured it would be uncomfortable as hell…sitting on the upturned pointy bottoms of about 300 two liters? Jeez. Maybe his next feat will be a bed of nails.

I don’t think it’s something to be owned, as much as it’s something to be inspired by.

I want that.
