I don't think that quite qualifies as "fine" design, Larsen.

Ok.

We'll Have to file it under "fine craftsmanship" I guess.

I'd like to see his wifes chair also.

I didn't say I didn't appreciate that chair. I just don't think it qualifies as fine design. I do think it is interesting, though.

For sure Monsieur Eiffel was thinking to a giraffe.

funny inspiration.

Well, speaking of inspiration, here is some work by Designer Bram Greenen, inspired by Antoni Gaudi. Although most will recognize the iconic structures by Gaudi, few are aware of the beauty of his detailing, and the amazing connection to the forms and therefore structural integrity of nature.
Brams work is not only beautiful, but is truly based on a Gaudi connection.

Bram follows in Gaudi's footsteps by adopting some of his natural forms methodology. Gaudi studied natural forms not just for aesthetics but for structure.
One of his methods was to hang chains to determine the forces that played on a natural configurations of arches and curves. An Image from Bram's site showing at how he arrived at the arches in his stool designs, following the Gaudi tradition.
-
And as for Guadi, here are some images of his Casa Batllo.
-
The structural integrity of Gaudi's columns, which get ever slenderer and branch as they rise, following a combination of the structure of trees, and the joint of bone structure.
What they accomplish is structurally incredible, accepting the load spread over larger surfaces, but also retain a quality that is visually amazing.
