Second, it is a LOT cooler in person then in the photo. If I could afford it, I would have bought it. I have seen this & sat on it. first it is not hot to sit on.

I think this is a really cool idea when you see it is all done. It's probably not going to be an office chair, or a dining chair. On the level that you might buy a chair just to look at it, it is art. If it is in your living room and you are having a party, someone might sit on it, because it functions, correct? The rest of the time it is pretty much an art installation. I can imagine it in a design with a lot of other minimalism to be a focal point, and I can imagine it in a design with way too much other "kooky" stuff going on. I would set this in a category with the crocodile lamp a few posts back: it is either the center of attention or it is among a purposely cluttered eclectic and daring interior. I have to add, I think Mr. Rogers would have liked it also, as a companion piece to his traffic light, and Trolley would concur.

But I'm not tempted by it personally. It looks uncomfortable. I could see it in a teenager’s room… or in a funky home office. But I’m not tempted by it personally. It looks uncomfortable.
