atelier RONIN: tidal wave chair


'tidal wave chair'


'tidal wave chair' is the result of a material exploration project by american creative
collective 'atelier_RONIN'. together, they constructed this cardboard chair which apart
from functioning as a seating unit also features ribs/fins doubling as shading
devices and storage shelves for items like cell phones and keys.

This looks like a terrible student project. Why is this on your site?
GooBss   07.15.10
I second that GooBss. This design is clumsy, inelegant, wasteful and lacks any design rigour!

Furthermore,

'Shading' - FROM WHAT?!

'Storage' - don't make me laugh!

toby00001 - I'm laughing already - not looking too functional there guys - needs some work - Franky G already did the cardboard thing maybe before these designers were even born? Know your history - hahaha

no disrepect for trying to design, but why the hell would you waste so much material and execute something so poorly solely as an object for sitting?!
