kawamura-ganjavian: caterpillar trestles

'caterpillar trestles'

taking its creative cue from multi-legged insects, 'caterpillar trestles' by spanish architecture
and design studio kawamura-ganjavian's features a bundle of legs in place of only two.
in doing so, the trestles appear to be set in perpetual motion. when not put to use as a support
system for table tops, these designs can dual as an informal stool.

I agree. Fun, but a bit over-designed. Better as a sculpture!

what fun is there in making things always looking the same?

I am agree with natalie, I found this piece very interesting. You guys want more minimalistic furniture, with 4 legs and a single table? with the excuse of being pure and functional? I don't think so...
