Can we talk about these chairs?
Well, we& #39;re going to. Or at least I am.
1) Making something using steel plate doesn& #39;t make it "industrial style". In this case it just means you& #39;ve used unsuitable materials in an inappropriate fashion.

Whoever *designed* these chairs isn& #39;t a designer. And throwing together disparate materials in the hope that the results will be "industrial" shows a complete disregard for the heritage, and lack of knowledge/understanding of industrial design.

These are a shit-show of a chair. Ugly, lacking any merit other than the fact that unless a tank plonks its arse down on one the legs are probably never going to break. They& #39;re ostentatiously awful. Unapologetically awful.

The reason there are 30 of these fucking things available, at what I suspect is less than the value of the steel, cutting, forming and bolts, is people didn& #39;t buy them because they& #39;re fucking ugly, heavy, and will fuck your floor up quicker than a herd of rampant wildebeest

Stop trying to be edgy and be *better*. Read a book or two. Do some research. *Look*. Ask questions. Buy lower gauge steel plate. Stop making ugly and impractical chairs. Make candles. Fuck off.
As an example of what is good industrial design there& #39;s this...
Still made from steel, but much thinner gauge to ensure they& #39;re not too heavy. In order to retain the strength required the steel is pressed, providing rigidity.

Components are easily produced on a production line and quick to assemble. The materials are selected for durability and strength, and to reduce the need for maintenance.
