I’m not sure I like this at all..horribly ugly. I hope people are even allowed to sit on this.. Karim can be great, but this one lacks quite a bit.

An interesting aesthetic but if I can’t say I see the logic in the layout. I wouldn’t know where to sit if I came along with more than one other person, and some of the seats are dreadfully low and reclined. Granny can sit on her own in Starbucks perhaps.
But at least the cleaning crew will find this a breeze to go over. There’s not a single nook or cranny for dirt to build up in.

I wonder if the people are allowed to sit but are avoiding it.

This is classic Karim: blobby, ugly and impractical.

sadly I live in Edmonton and will be exposed to this monstrosity everytime I fly. They should have barf bags in the terminal

Looks like a plastic mold for cheap chocolate furniture.

It’s funny that they went with a copper color. The design is so whimsical that the metallic color seems at odds with it. That other people have mentioned that they don’t know if you are supposed to sit on it or not is a big concern. You shouldn’t have to figure furniture out. I almost wonder that if it was given a different color, such as yellow or a lighter green, if it would maintain the daring of the design, but make it more approachable.
