Functionalism seems like an esthetic choice but I think it is the integration of both function and form. A chair has to be inviting and intriguing. The Morris chair looks luxurious in a comfortable approachable way. The Wassily chair looks edgy and interesting like a director’s chair. The Eames’ chair looks like a generic usable chair to me. Something about the curved ply and angled metal seems less formal but still authoritative. The Wiggle chair looks like something that I just want to sit on because of the obvious material. The Aeron chair looks like a great spinning chair and to me that is important. The transparent back and seat is also very interesting. You can see that there is only a frame and a thin fabric. It looks so different from the other office chairs; it looks light and dependable.
