This Occasional Chair Deserves to Become Iconic
An ultra-simple quasi-flatpack design from Sera Yanagisawa
I'm digging this quasi-flatpack chair design from Sera Yanagisawa, a designer with no info on his site other than that he attended Tokyo's Musashino Art University. While the occasional chair's form owes a little to Sori Yanagi's Butterfly Stool, it's different enough to be its own thing and has, I think, the potential to become iconic.
The chair (which appears to be called "20201219.isu," seriously) features a description nearly as laconic as Yanagisawa's bio:
"Self-build & flat pack chair. It is fixed by matching the circumference of each part. The strength is increased by sticking [in] the pin at the end."
"The naming is temporary," writes Yanagisawa, "because there is room for improvement."

This looks like one of the most uncomfortable chairs I've ever seen. Every surface curves in the wrong direction, the backrest is basically useless. An overuse of material for the legs and a comical seat make this a hard sell in my book.... How is this better than a stool?
