not sure why the back flipping down is an advantage? Looks as if it takes up as much space when stacked as other stacking chairs....

yeah I understand chairs converting to library stools or tables, not sure what the point of this is.

its all a matter of taste I know, but I don't think it's anywhere near as elegant as a Bellini Chair, or more forward-looking as a Supernatural (I would argue the obvious alternatives) .. and in spite of the flippy-thing doesn't appear to stack as efficiently. Does the world really need just another plastic chair?

i am feeling a really powerful urge to smack this thing with a shoe and flush it down the toilet. and yet, i kind of like it at the same time...

I think the point of this is to be able to scoot it under something. Fold down the back, tuck it under a table, etc.

I think it's nifty, if only cause it's red.

Chairs that also function as an arachnid sculpture? I'm in love.

I appreciate the amount of creativity and technical design that went into these chairs, but the style is not my taste. Too modern and simple.

I love these designs that split the AT vote right up the middle.
