Snarling Library
My buddy in Holland, Kuftub, sent this one in. He says, “I don’t know what to make of this so I thought I would send it to the expert for his opinion. I think it’s a piece of f***ing s**t, but im not a stoel expert.” Tell us how you really feel.
Well, I’ve seen a lot of chairs that incorporate book storage. I do like the sense of gravity this one has, with books leaning on supports at all angles. Looks a bit unfriendly, though, like teeth and snarling lips.
The real head-knocker, in terms of functionality, is the front row of bookshelves under your legs. It comes so far forward. To stand up from a low seat, you need to place your feet back and under your body, right where that shelf is. So don’t get this one for your new apartment, Kuftub.
