BUBU Stool, 1989
This is a curious design by star designer Philippe Starck, made in France in 1989 by Xo Design, using injected Polypropylene plastic. The top is removable, so it can be used to store things or even as an ice bucket. But nothing is perfect, so this design incurs a classic design flaw: the area occupied by the feet is smaller than the area of the seat surface, thus turning the object into a lever, catapulting the seater who dares not to seat still. The designer is said to have minimized the subject by saying that it is good enough for the consumer to have the chance to buy a cheap "s+arck". Any comments?
