I have to wonder is Charles Darwin would be proud of or even flattered by Nick Ross and Fraser Reid's chair designs considering that they are based on his theory of evolution. Considering that it is a series of good-looking seats, I think it is safe to assume that he would be. Of course, the next question would be for designers Nick Ross and Fraser Reid, asking which chair they think it the fittest for survival.
Looking at their designs, you might not be able to determine immediately how they factor into the evolution discussion. However, Nick Ross and Fraser Reid created each chair with the evolution of man's hands specifically in mind. Therefore, the different forms taken and materials used are based on particular human abilities throughout time.
