Really awesome. I’d like to own one…if only our city weren’t so damn dusty and polluted. I can imagine it looking really filthy in a matter of days. Cool nonetheless.

Can you imagine the track marks in your skin you’d have after sitting in that thing? And I thought corduroy was bad…. lol
Victor T on 24 May 2010 at 10:13 am #
so cool! but ya, I wonder if it leaves track marks like stebe says? nevertheless, if it does, sit on with pants or something that covers your butt and thighs!

That’s incredible! Wonder if it’s as comfortable as it looks?
Evil1 on 25 May 2010 at 2:54 am #
Wow… There actually exist people who worry about track marks on their skin?
Sheesh… I barely care if I get them on my face from bedsheets… They disappear in 10 minutes anyway…

LOL @ Evil1. They must be floating while at sleep. Genius work nonetheless!

Really awesome design.

Beautiful. I can only imagine the comfort; I may be lending too much credit but as someone VERY VERY short, it is almost impossible to find chairs that don’t cause me great pain.
This simply looks as if it would accept me as I am and spoil me… and it breathes, and it has a personality when not actively being a chair!
Massive kudos!
