Core77
One more from mathematical madman maker John Edmark, this one on the furniture front. Practical? No; but his Four-Legged Chair has to be the most creative two-person bench I've ever seen:
Six simple pieces of wood. But you just know that if a design student came up with this and presented it at crit, their accompanying thesis would weigh more than the piece itself and be filled with heavy-handed metaphors: "We ARE our furniture," "We SUPPORT each other," "We INTERACT with furniture when we truly FACE each other," et cetera.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Brilliantly Simple Two-Person Conversation Bench (Must See the Video)
i posted this on reddit and got 5000 internet points. some guy "did the math"...
I have had enough of this forced homogeneity in conversation due to our so called "egalitarian furniture revolution". There was a time when fat people could talk to skinny people...tall people would speak to short people. There was a time when furniture was more grounded. It was a time of benches and stools.
Really cool design.
