Using techniques from traditional craftsmanship, Sebastian Brajkovic re-shaped two baroque-style chairs by extruding the backrest to create this love seat. Using similar optical tricks as the Downloading Rug, posted last week, it creates a feeling of movement. Although highly conceptual, the chair is functional as an elegant love seat.

From the designer:
My very first thought with making this design was actually a practical one. I wanted to create more space on a singular chair by “extruding” the seat’s surface area. This extruding idea came from a Photoshop function where you can pick a row of pixels and extend them as long as you want. This modern computer method aided me to devise new ways of sketching as a contradictory partner in my design process. In this paradoxical sense, using antique forms was the next logical step.

while i applaud its avant-garde qualities, i cant help but be reminded of siamese twins.
strange
Awful.
Very Tim Burton-esque.
why
Bizaar.
Just because photoshop can draw it, doesn't mean we need one in real life.
Prettypresley, so true. I thought of Siamese twins as well. Creepy.
NOT.
The backrest seems to visually overwhelm the seats and pretty legs- it's much too heavy. I could maybe (maybe) see this working with a more delicate backrest- caned?
Ugly.
Next, please.
what the bloody hell is that?
Creepy. I also thought Siamese Twins and Tim Burton.
I think this could be great in a gallery, or a fancy store, or a waiting room. Not only do you get a chair for sitting, but you have the conversation starter included right there with it, whether you like it or not! Could serve to meet people.
ummmm.
no.
I would never have this in my house, and I hated the downloading rug last week -- but I think this is kind of neat looking.
This reminds me of the Yannick Pouliot exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts recently. Is this going to be a design trend?
I like it. It would be interesting in a bedroom.
ew creepy. i sort of like the stitching on the backrest though.
The stuff that nightmares are made of.
Amusing but useless.
Reminds me of the "downloading rug" - fix the glitch.
eewwww. reminds me somehow of siamese twins which totally creep me out.
I love this chair. I rememebr seeing it in a magazine a number of months ago. To die for
my head hurts
It is unique and successful in using the possibilities that computer modeling/graphics provide for designers.
I may use one in a design project where a strong design piece is needed.
I would not have one for my own house, though.
Looks like two chairs fighting for a sweater.
click212 is so right!
I think this is an art piece, not furniture. In a gallery show of furniture-based art or even just sculpture, it would be fine. To sit on or look at in a home that doesn't have the space to be an art gallery -- no.
While I like the downloading rug as a piece of modern art, this is about the worst conceived piece of furniture/art I have ever seen. I don't even think Tim Burton could appreciate this abomination!
I absolutely love this.
It looks like one chair jumped out of itself and it's particles are leaping still...
