This chimerical object gives ambiguous cues as to its purpose. It also tries to do two different things at the same time and fails at both. Its simplicity of line is a waste of space.
As a chair, this product will be uncomfortable both to sit in while engaged in the task of reading, and to lounge in. There is some sensory feedback in the material but it is of the wrong type – much too rigid and hard. As a book shelf, the object has too little capacity to be useful and wastes the space under the top shelf because of the designer's obsession with curved plywood forms.
Imagine being a small child who has used outdoor play equipment. Will you see this object as an item for play, eg a slippery slide, or as a chair in which to read books? Even as a slippery slide, the object will give an unsatisfactory performance.
