I’m obsessed with this chair. The artist takes a flimsy hunk of injection-molded plastic that’s been cost-cut to hell and back, and insists that we look at it with fresh eyes and understand its beauty. And they went about it in the most labor-intensive way I can think of.
Absolutely nothing about this design is convenient to execute in wood. Every piece is curved, most have compound curves. This is artisan craftsmanship: it’s inherently slow, manual, and skilled. Notice, also, that most features of this chair must be thicker and heavier than on the plastic chairs being imitated. Injection-molded chairs can be produced in this shape in a matter of minutes with far less material at very low cost.
If these flowing, organic curves are so beautiful in polished wood, perhaps they are also beautiful in the mass-produced chairs that are far more accessible. Perhaps we should remember to admire designs that succeed enough to become ubiquitous. I don’t know about you, but I’ll never see injection-molded chairs the same way again.
I can’t believe that we have to say this but horror genre is supposed to be fucked up, grotesque, disgusting and deeply unsettling. It is supposed to make you feel deeply uncomfortable and unsafe. And the point of it is that you reach catharsis through the negative emotions it makes you feel. It can also has funny, absurd or tragic elements but the heart of this genre is terror and disgust. it is called fucking HORROR and it is 100% understandable that you don’t like horror genre but saying shit like “if you enjoy Saw you are abnormal” is just funny. Maybe YOU are the one who dislikes horror. Have you ever thought of that
what i mean when i call a character perfect is “wow look at how flawed you are, how broken and three dimensional and well written. look how much of a disaster you are and how you are constantly torn between right and wrong and you make so many mistakes along the way wow look how human you are”
so basically when i say they are perfect what i mean is thank god they aren't
