I just don´t get it. Israeli designer Tal Gur showed this (what? prototype, conceptual, esoteric, provocative?) chair/object/work recently and writes:

The Holy Poly chair is constructed by three surprising layers: Polyurea skin, cardboard covering to create the volume, and an inner skeleton of a ready-made common plastic chair. On top of these, an external compressor makes the chair inhale. The Holy Poly chair breathes life into the expression personified chair.

The funniest thing though: The designboom post, where I borrowed the image, provoked flaming comments and a discussion, whether comment censure – as db had chosen – is reasonable or ethical.. My two cents: I could easily do without dysfunctional, aesthetically appallingly prototyped, semi self-morphing furniture and go for “crap”. Salutes to quite a few of the deleted but further down quoted comments.
