Very Nice!
I like the reorientation and scale change of the various pieces.
Simple, yet effective.
Its seems like it would make me feel somewhat urgent when actually using it. By that I mean the idea of sitting ‘at the edge of your seat’. – I could, however, be deceived by the clear forward motion. The back rest does meander off at a reasonable angle just as the seat sinks toward where they meet. It would be nice to sink away with it:
In short – I want that set…

I wish the back of the seating had a more functional use. It is beautiful and sculptural but the back portion takes up so much space to create this aesthetic.

Despite the very striking profile, the lower back support seems to be an afterthought inspired by the obvious discomfort one would experience without it. It is sculptural, ir does inspire a certain feeling of dynamic movement…. but its willingness to waste space, and very conventional finishes seem pretentious rather than genuinely inspired or inspiring.
