You really have to get a good look at the Stubborn Chair from several angles to understand its unusual form. A head-on view will help you to discern the asymmetrically of the object, for it has been molded in an unconventional and imperfect way. Every one of these seats is actually made up of a pair that was stacked off-center and treated to heat, causing the separate sections to morph into one.
Studio Makkink & Bey recognize that few people sit down and take a proper straight posture, even if the piece of furniture beneath them is balanced in shape. According to the designers, "In the end you'll have a chair that is never right, and that is always right - a very stubborn chair."
