The LEAN sitting machine

A machine is defined as any apparatus of at least two parts working together to perform a particular task. The Lean Beach Chair by Trip Trap is about as simple and elegant as any machine gets. Designed by Hans Sandgren Jakobsen for ease of use, easy storage and portability, it’s a shame to cover this beautiful design with anyone’s gluteus maximus.

Sigh, it’s nice, but my big butt would snap that thing like a twig under… well… a big butt.

I’d need a go sitting on it before I could decide if this is a good idea or not :)

Actually I’ve seen this type of design in Africa aswell. Carved out of big wooden planks, often with different animal motives, in souvenir shops…
