almost 2 years ago Lizzete responded:

Im sorry but this chari is simply horrible!, Im designer and the most important I think is the variety in styles... for my test is horrible, boring and ugly chair whith a bad taste in textures, I dont like false textures, its like a be dress with a fake leather, I dont know who design this, but I dont care because is simply ugly!

The choice of veneer is open to critique, but have you ever sat in one?

almost 2 years ago Jake responded:

OK Lizzete no offense but you're flat out wrong the Eames LCW is hands down one of the most elegant and comfortable chairs ever designed. I am conducting a lengthy job search from the comfort of mine right now!

almost 2 years ago Taylor Blanc responded:

Lizzette, do you know ANYTHING about design? This chair was designed by the one of the most amazing furniture designers of this era. Not only are they famous for their beautiful mid-century modern design but also for their perfectly-orchestrated ergonomics. I suggest you do some research.

almost 2 years ago Gabriel responded:

Hey Lizzete, just so you know, this is not a 2010 design, so please take it in that context. You're looking at a chair from the 1940s, the material and design broke new ground back then. If the worst thing you can say about it is that you don't like the texture, then that's not bad for a 70-year-old chair that's been mimicked time and again.

The person that designed this chair completely hates elementary school children and is trying to make their lives miserable.

almost 2 years ago Lizzete responded:

My name is Lizzete, and I am Graphic Designer not Interior Designer, dont take this personally cause I dont know you and you dont know me neither, but my opinion still been the same, I m sorry but facts dont change my taste, just I find it ugly.

The fact that the man be the most amazing furniture designer do not change the fact that I did not like it, it´s just my taste.

Forgive me because I dont like it !

and......
Hahahaaaaa I think if he had put his chairs in school, he would do it completely, LOL

Man..! dont be so snobbish... buries all your gods!!

almost 2 years ago Kiernan responded:

The problem with the social web is that people who feel like expressing an opinion even though they are by their admission ignorant of the subject they are commenting on are free to do so.
So Lizette, you're a graphic designer, who may know nothing about furniture design or its history, nothing about the history of wood moulding and Alvar Aalto, and his influence on Ray and Charles Eames yet feel that you have a right to make irrelevant comments about their work:
You don't like it.
Have you ever sat on an Eames chair or sofa?

almost 2 years ago Lizzete responded:

Hey man.... you r really mad about that... relax..... and well, I know Aalto!! and he like me!! hahaaa, I dont really thought that you answer me again hahaa, I am wonder.

And you always make me the same cuestion, and the answer is nooo!!! I have never sat on those chairs!
I ask you before for the price because I guess it must be expensive

well man.... dont get mad, and take it easy, nice to you defend your ideas and respond my mails

thanks for your answer

This is the most beautiful chair I have ever seen The line is stunning to me the texture and appearance of the wood is perfect for the line of the chair, my first reaction when I saw it was oh isn't that beautiful this is the first chair I have thought of as a work of art

about 1 year ago MauricePerret responded:

The design is objective and this is one person's vision of a chair. The lines and flow are brilliant in my opinion! ...However, the engineer always critiqued the architect but together they build amazing structures. Sometimes we must open up and think how can we improve on this..; If you are a graphic designer I bet you can color or render this chair and make it something amazing! I would love to see it...
Cheers.

about 1 year ago Liz responded:

You right maurice, u have a creative solution to this argument and yes, it could be better with color instead that texture wich make it looks like a school chair.

Why I have to know all the history about a chair?, it doesn make a lot of sense in real world, i guess there are so very few Iconoclasts in this excesive branding world.

It looks uncomfortable.

yes, that's it.

11 months ago Lisa responded:

Poor Lizzete.....after she finishes grammar 101, and spelling 101, and personality 101, then maybe she can look into the basics, and I mean BASICS of furniture design and the icons who stand alone. In the interim, poor thing....just look at those posts......a third grader could do better!!! Poor little Lizzete.

11 months ago Lizzete responded:

Well Lisa, have you seen Britney spears as my name? my name is Lizzete... have you notice im not amerian, of course my grammar is bad, it s obvious, but as we can see your personality is kinda mix of snake with a lot of poison and a snob who gets the wrong place to complain and show up his frustration with her own snob life, if you didnt see the topic, well... I gonna tell you that the topic was......(guess what....?) about the chair, ok! do you get it? if you have something not poisoned and intelligent to say, you could write with your perfect spelling and grammar something, could you??? and if you cant, I think there are others places to argument in this way, Oprah show or Jon stewart, I dont know much about american culture but im absolutly sure you know it perfectly right! and if you dont understand my writing i can do it in my own language and you can look up for a translation if you wish. Icons, Icons... i think all of us should stop praising all those design gods and start to think by ourselves, make something instead take as a base the work of other ICON, after all we are designer not psicologist or philosopher under the shadow of the big personalityes, just my comment try to be more pragmatic not dogmatic, and I hope you can catch this instead get really offended

11 months ago Liz (my international version name...lol) responded:

I'm sure Lisa will be offended, but everyone else does not please, that was a direct reply to his rudeness only lol

11 months ago Liz (my international version name...lol) responded:

all very good comments (except my grammar english teacher Lisa), and still thinking MauricePerret made the best comment of this thread, I hope all the people has more free thinking not just talk about facts and icons...
