I disagree, but those are art and not a chair.

A chair has utility. Nobody sitting on those back-aching butt-hurting pine boards is going to want to sit on them for long. They're designed to be un-chairs, places where the function of 'chair' is denied.

Sure they look cool. And if we all lived in FlatLand and were geometric shapes, a functional house might look like those pictures. But not here in reality.
