Blobby, heavy, inefficient use of materials, expensive, difficult to transport, made solely for looks. Rashid hasn’t lost his touch.

just barely different than many similar ones I’ve seen like this.

Take a look at this one in Brazil. Design around 1999…Rashid is not so original after all… http://www.saccaro.com.br/site2009/produtos.php?idTela=2&id=89&pagina=

Actually, I kind of like the stacking chair, it’s simple, elegant and modern. I would not call the chaise a copy, that Brazilian chair looks nothing like it and there are hundreds of similar chaises but not in similar materials and proportions.

I hope people can tell I was being facetious. This looks like a 2nd yr. i.d. student project. What is this, layered plywood? Probably plastic that can be turned into shopping bags which in turn can then be filmed swirling in the wind…”it’s beautiful”
