thanx,
Now a good question would be, do you like the actual product - the rendering was intended for the product in mind, if you could kindly answer that?
Would you like to sit into one, and/or buy one

, I would be interested in that kind of C&C.

The design is very cool, if I had the appropiate space (a decent house or my own studio) it would look awesome. Its sketchy shape gives it a sense of motion and lightness; being floating on top of the base block adds to that. I don't know what I would do with the right-most part without the actual rest for the back if you know what I mean... in this case it's kinda lost space, but for designs' sake it's fine. Form follows function is an overrated statement ahhaha.
I like how the back rest has different levels; some people like taller back rests and others lower, so I can imagine someone naturally picking his "favorite spot" depending on that, which is pretty cool.
As far as fabrics and patterns, I personally prefer plain or the leathery one, although zebra looks fun too.
Hope that helps

this seemed like a great model to test all of the textures, so I did around 50 of those - for all the different tastes (didn't find a leopard one)

the thing is it is completely asymmetrical which gives it a different look..
still every part is functional, even the right part without the back rest, just sit on right the side - 90 degrees, and rest your back there.. it was designed so everything conforms to the ergonomic standards and asymmetry in mind

I love the couch, really inviting, and the asimetric desing really catches my eye. It's got kind of a human resting on the ground type of pose that almost makes an sculpture out of it. Last shot is superb btw.
