Kundera Chair

In my (humble) opinion, Kundera, by gud conspiracy is so much more successful, pleasing and well crafted than Konstantin Grcic's Medici Chair, which won the recent big Design Museum prize for 2013.
Rem Koolhaas OMA  is currently reinventing the Old Commonwealth Institute building for the upcoming Design Museum move, which is very exciting. But I really hope the curators pull their socks up regarding the stuff they are going to put in it, as this years awards are a joke.
Swiftly moving on, and back to Kundera, I really like the precision, its lean but healthy, the seat is slightly over-pitched (in a good way) and there is a real honest symbiosis between form and construction.
