"because the foam wants to unfold, it`s pushing itself on the frame..."


Tom Frencken's design consists of a foam cushion that fits precisely into a metal frame.

can't decide on hot or not - i would have to sit in it to decide. i do like the simple look. not too keen on the grey, though.
cool idea. but pretty ugly. maybe would look better in playful colors marketed for a nursery. i could get down with that being in one of the OhDeeDoh tours.
Looks way flimsy to me. And stiffly uncomfortable.
The foam looks fine and comfy.
The frame looks like an old lawn furniture.
A very similar idea to the EVO Armchair (except without the lawn furniture frame).
too cold and masculine with the metal and grey for my personal taste, but it could be nice in a bolder color or even a crazy pattern.
....or an even closer knock off, Colors Armchair by ilkka suppanen zanotta.
I love the concept, and it looks comfortable, but it would be great if it came in other colors besides gray. The gray is a bit blah looking.
Poor execution of a decent idea.
Unlike some of his other work, there's an awkward lack of harmony between the tube steel and the cushion here. Not only in scale and proportion, but also because the curved bends in the tube steel don't relate to the hard angles of the cushions very well.
IMO, tube steel looks good in small diameter where it looks like steel rod, but when it's this thick, it's too strongly associated with shopping channel exercise equipment and the like.
The minimal concept is also cluttered by the thinner tube braces on the rear legs.
Otherwise, the general concept is very good.
