Hot or Not? Yellow Bloom Chair by Kenneth Cobonpue

This yellow micro-fiber chair is a brand new design from Kenneth Cobonpue. The chair is completely different from his other designs - which we've admired at Muleh (in DC). We think the bloom chair is a bold, statement piece that could liven up any room. Do you like it? Survey below the jump...

I'd like it better if it were the color of a California Poppy...
...but it's still not something I'd have in my home.

Why do I keep envisioning a baby in the middle of the chair!

I suspect it's too much exposure to Anne Geddes product, NoraL.

Well, I wouldn't want one, which means it's cool.

maybe if you were an opium-smoking caterpillar...

I think it would look better in a room- it looks weird in the photo because it's all by itself.

I like the seat, hate the base.

It would feel like I'm being swallowed up by one of those flesh eating plants. Or is that from a comic book or something?

The base looks like a saarinen inspired afterthough...

The chair and the base have no relation to each other, and both are hideous.

I think this would look great in the right context. I could image this in a sparsley furnished room and I think this would be an interesting focal point.

Far too reminiscent of female genitalia.

In the right setting...sure. Looks comfy. Reminds me of a papasan chair.

I love this chair and all its femininity! I agree with the first comment that it would be great in California poppy. I could see it at a hip spa or even a women's boutique.

That's not a bloom, it's a bum.

I loathe microfiber to no end, but this is fantastic. Everyone who thinks this looks like a 'gina is nuts. If anything, it looks like some sort of coral, or a flower. Or, in this color, lettuce. Anyways, I think this is a wonderful and strong piece! Love love love it

Hmmm...sitting in a giant hoo-ha thinking Freudian thoughts...

Cosmotosis, why would I want a giant lettuce chair?

I sat on this chair in Paris and its super comfy. Beautiful piece!!! There was a crowd around it at the exhibition. I can attest that having the chair in a room was like having a piece of the garden indoors. The scale is just right too.
To everyone who thinks about genitalia and butts, get a life!
