Knot Chair: cozy, semi-stone-age
John Makepeace's Knot Chair, a finalist for the 2010 Prince Philip Designers Prize, poleaxed me this morning during my dawn RSS patrol. Something about it -- it seems so friendly, homey, something between a twig chair at a cottage and a furnishing from the Flintstones house. It's got the desiderata enzyme, whatever it is.

Use of Weapons.

Looks more like descolada virus.
Anyone else think of Ian M Banks' "Use of Weapons" when they look at this?
I was just stopping in to mention Use of Weapons. I think I will go be creeped out for a while now.
It looks like the bones of a once-great chair beast.
Well it's certainly ugly enough to win a prestigious design contest. And it's been so long since I read 'Use of Weapons' that eyedontgeddit.
It looks like the last character I created in Spore.

I too immediately thought of "Use of Weapons" when I say the photo.
