Secondly, it might be curved but it is only suitable FOR short and tall people - what happened to the even spaces in between for the medium heights? this could have been better as a seat if the percentages of height ratios were actually considered properly based on its function. it reminds me of a sink/tap system in a restroom which tiers in a waterfall nature hence all sized people can wash hands at their ideal heights. i think this was designed originally purely to be a seat – the only design aspect in it is the varying heights… this concept is old and it’s an easy way to try and accommodate short and tall people. but it failed.

In urban spaces, a piece must function, or else it is worthless. As far as having no beauty, I think if you researched it a bit more you would find that statement to be wrong. In the case of your design, I don't feel as though it is beautiful or stylish enough to warrant to decrease in functionality and efficiency. I don’t know if you statements are entirely true.
