One Good Chair is a design competition where the designers are challenged to go in to in two totally diffrent directions, building green and maximizing human comfort, utility, durability and beauty (or what an economist would just simply call maxmizing utility), without comprimising any of them. It can be described as a minimizing/mazimizing challenge.
Anyhow, there where several winners in the 2010 edition of One Good Chair and this "broom-chair" above was one of them. It is basicly colored plastic parts and broomlike pieces that are assemblied into this very interesting chair. Easy to assembly and transport, that's for sure and does minimize production and material use, since it only consists of two different materials.
I absolutely don't have any doubts that this could be really comfortable sitting in. I would use it as a part of a outdoors furnishing, as it reminds me of activities done outside (but that is just a matter of taste). As long as the plastic is strong enougth it will hold for a long time. Would I call it a beautiful chair? By itself no, but as a part of a bigger assembly it could create a beautiful concept.
The name? Simply "Broom Chair", and I guess you already know where Baita Design Studio has gotten their inspiration from.
