Stacked chairs (and other furniture) fascinate me, not only because of the patterns they form, but because I admire the engineering that goes into making them fit the way they do. Here are some more from a recent ‘road trip’—by rail, actually—along the Rhine.
This, and the title image, are from Mainz. My first impression was that it resembled a huge advancing insect.

Also in Mainz; these are bamboo-framed and feel a bit more gemütlich, a word that has no real one-word English equivalent, but which combines elements of cozy, warm, well-being…



In Heidelberg, the chairs I found were much more regimented…

…while in Strasbourg, they seemed to want to cozy up to each other…
