Your comment is very superficial. I also don't think you read the description and/or understand what the designers were trying to achieve with this chair. The chair "is an exploration in unusual materials and innovative ways of upholstering" They were not trying to make the most comfortable chair ever. They were not trying to make the most beautiful chair ever. This chair might not ever be put into production or for sale. The chair "is an exploration in unusual materials and innovative ways of upholstering" So, with that goal in mind, I would say they were 100% successful. It's an exploration, an experiment. They're playing with an idea. It's what designers do. If you really appreciate what designers do, I don't think you would be making such superficial judgements.

The overall aesthetics are really impressive. I especially like the view from the bottom. I wonder if the designers have considered other colours for the seat itself? I would like to see both a darker shade of gray, and one in pink matching the bottom. I hope I get to touch and feel the texture in Stockholm – the rope texture looks amazing.

Phrases like "wonderful tactile sensation" do nothing to change that impression either. They're just buzz words that help sell chairs like the Marcel Wanders knotted chair, but at least that chair has a sense of lightness about it, no matter how uncomfortable it is to sit in. I appreciate design and unconventional materials as well as the next person who visits this site, but pieces like this do absolutely nothing for me.
