Why is it that seemingly every space designed by an avowed communist looks completely uncomfortable to spend literally any amount of time in it?

- woodruffw 4y agoI get that about Brasilia, but I don't see the discomfort in this one. Those chairs look pretty comfortable to me, and I like the colors. Edit: Perhaps the more obvious answer is that it's an office/professional building, and you're not supposed to fall asleep in the chairs (although I think I could swing it).
- kcplate 4y agoI don’t know, the lounge area in the basement looks horribly uncomfortable. The four chairs around the coffee table have too wide a seat for the back and appear to be uncomfortably low.

- kcplate 4y agoJust my opinion, but I see more form over function there. Molded plastic chairs? No thanks, used to work in an office that went that route for conference room chairs…was beyond awful, but good if you never wanted people to use your conference room.
