Since they rely on curves for the sitting surface, they should have done a proper saddle chair shape instead. The current design prioritize the manufacturer/corporation over the user/human. This is a failure on my book.
This person is very talented but that chair looks super uncomfortable. Resting you arms on those thin armrests will hurt within seconds. But that's exactly the type of furniture my mom loves :)
A lot of other modern furniture looks like it was just the default in CAD. Ie completely rectangular arm rests with sharp edges etc. I get that a car like Ford Sierra looked featureless and too simple in its time, I guess it seemed like lazy design. Where were all the trims and grilles and fenders and in general the "borders between things"? But I think it didn't hurt its usability.
It's cool but that rounded seat looks very uncomfortable. I could imagine it as a great item for a child's room though, if they could build it themselves from the flat sheet.

Indeed, looks super uncomfy.
And yeah, I helped a friend who's a furniture designer [1] for a few years.
After a while, when you 'beta test' pieces in development a lot, you understand that looks are great but comfort always wins.

Looks extremely uncomfortable and unstable.

Except that I just don't subscribe to the idea that flatpackedness should be the guiding principle of furniture design.
The screws on the bottom will be under lots of strain I imagine
Also, depending on how flexible the material is, it looks like those screws might scratch the floor on which the chair sits?
I wish they had shown a real version of the chair with a real human sitting on it.
