White Enamel Four-P...
Not fond of a single one. I was excited to see the chairs, but all of them look overly worked. They all clash with the simplicity of the Panton Chair.
I agree txutuxe. Its simply busy
The idea of redesigning the chairs is good. The redesigns themselves... not so much. Most of them look like high school projects done by average students at the last minute.
Pretty disappointing if you ask me.
Make new forms of chairs instead.
These aren't really redesigns; most of them are just a new color or pattern painted on.
A high school student could have done the vast majority of these.
I feel like throwing up.
There's not one of these that doesn't look like a 9th grade craft project gone awry. Perhaps they looked 1000% better in person.
the horror! THE HORROR!
Some of these are cool. Most of them are like the shittier outcomes on Project Runway or something....
I like the corded chair by Rollout (yes?) and the one with arms by The Design Agency. Maybe the one by the Prototype Design lab, but really they just made a whole new chair... sort of....
why?
The chair in the first photo needs a guy in a leather straitjacket to complete the effect.
Panton sling chair! Perfect for your S&M dungeon!
