But let me say: in my life, I've seen really unuseful furniture, and this is NOT so bad. I am looking for a pair of nice chairs for my new house and, I admit, I had and idea of color-over-white like this.

The designer just graduated from design school last year and she lists this project as one of her research projects -- the aim was to research resin. So, the drippy parts are actually resin and should be fairly stable. But, I think it makes a lot more sense once you realise it is a design student and not a designer intending to market this directly. In design school, the student is often instructed to put research into something to explore the idea, without any regard as to whether or not it could be useful "in real life". This really pushes the designers-to-be into thinking differently than they likely would on their own and is a stepping stone to coming up with new and fantastic ideas they'll use for the mass market in several years. I like the chairs. I wouldn't want them for my dining table set, but maybe one as a stool in the laundry room or the entryway (for putting on your shoes).. it'd be a neat little piece of intrigue. The footstool ones look significantly sturdier. I did a little bit of research into this because it really intrigued me.
