apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Blech. Looks like a student project.

I am amused by the chair choices - I have 10 of almost the exact chair on the left. I am thinking about painting them; I would never consider anything like this.

Not a fan...

Bah.

Who is 'We'?

Siamese twin writers? You'd still have to share one brain to claim 'we'.

my cat would love this chair

hideous

"re-uses" leads me to think the belts were once used and they are now being recycled. I bet those are new, and wasting the materials as opposed to recycling them. You could buy the canvas straps instead of buying new belts.

Designer?
Cut off the ends , it is Really Silly.

It Looks like a Cubscout project gone bad!

That's a whole lotta ugly!

the metal buckles would scratch my floors.

What this immediately brings to my mind is the traditional leatherwork of the countries north and south of the Sahara -- & since the designer is Algerian, this is probably a witty visual reference to work like this:

This would be immediately obvious to people in Paris, given French ties to the Maghreb and Sahel.

I like it, it's fresh, contemporary and evokes Africa.

not hot.

unacceptable

My friend Debbie did this with old leather belts she bought at the Good Will. Her chairs look amazing.

I like these chairs, but I wouldn't recommend them for actual use. A chair like this can become a wonderful piece of art if placed in the right spot, such as a corner of a hallway, or some other area where you might put a sculpture. It becomes a conversation piece. And if it makes the cat happy as well, life is even better.

It's not for me, but it might be kinda cool for a hotel or club. It's like a Shaker chair dressed up to do the flamenco.

I'm not a fan either. I like the colors and all, but the hangy things, not as much.

The colors look great together; it would make for an amazing cat toy.

I see the novelty in it, but it is not particularly appealing, and looks really haphazardly put together.

I was thinking of it as a work of art.

If you wear shorts or a skirt, the hanging sections would either scratch or tickle your legs.
