maintaining a strong structure, in which they simultaneously function as the legs, seat, back
and armrests of the chair.

Definitely conciously or unconciously itīs the same chair, but itīs not a crime to make it, and really make it more beautiful? Isnīt it ? So wtf if it looks the same?

I can swear I never copied the design.
I made this chair for a university graduation work in 2008.
But now, I checked when his work's done.
It seems clearly true that his work's done before 2006, I can see it with his press.
So I am ashamed of the fact that I didn't know his work or of lack of researching.
I appreciate telling me nice information.

Iīm sorry guys but I fail to see where a "food plate" has anything to do with a "chair", but maybe its just me.
Saying that one designer copied another's idea is like saying that Stark's Orange Juice maker form is not original because it looks like a spider.
Nothing is created, you canīt create you can only assimilate and define.
What the designer here did was assimilate a form to a definition which noone else did before, a chair.
Great job and keep up the good work.

djorge, you managed to express exactly what I was thinking about the issue of idea vs execution
also, it was me who commented that I wasnt sure if I liked the design (I had no idea about all the other stuff)
but I thought about it, and saw jean nouvels new building and I realised. if he (JN) had done this chair I would have called it brave and amazing and I realise thats probably how I should see this chair

Maybe I'm a little exagerate but I think this chair is a little dangerous because of cuts and steel.

I think this chair is so lyrical. It is sculptural and practical. Congratulations! I look forward to seeing your work in the future.

created from the same base as traditional korean paper, the chair is an example of how the organic fiber can replace toxic plastic.

the design conveys a particular aesthetic value with a nuance of amusement by using the writing utensil as its structural component.
