I would love to know everyone’s opinion of this chair. But first, the details. It’s called Rapport and was designed by Moni Beuchel for Karl Andersson & Soner.
Now, my opinion. I love the way this chair looks, but my knees hurt if I stare at it too long. Most people sit with their legs bent a little at the knee. Rapport requires one to sit up straight - kind of like a robot.
No can do.
I was going to compare this chair to high heels - sometimes fashion is more important than pinched toes. But there are too many beautiful chair choices to make a change of posture worth the effort. How long could you sit on this number?

beautiful to look at, but sure wouldn’t want to sit on it, for sure!
i don’t know if i like this chair. sure it’s very nice but a bit “déjà vu” too : kind of an unfruitfull meeting between muji and j. morrison. and if it’s not comfortable well it’s not worth it.
It seems are are all in agreement.
