Tubular steel, for one. Tubular steel is an abomination, especially in chairs.
Modern chairs are typically terribly uncomfortable (the Eames lounge chair being one exception). This may speak to sibling's point regarding appropriation of style but with poor execution.
A nice Windsor with wedged mortise-and-tenon construction is preferable. A good Windsor conveys a sense of movement, as though it's about to stand up and walk away; those lines lead to a particularly comfortable chair. Windsors will also last 300+ years....
- tokai 5y agoThe Eames chair is not post-modern. You are mixing things together.
- jason-phillips 5y agoNoted, corrected. Thank you.
