Ironically it's the prevalence of this chair in student residences that makes me never want to see one again. It's practically standard issue student furniture in many parts of Europe, I promised myself once I had a job that paid a reasonable salary I would never have one again, having sat in hundreds of the things during my education.

When I look back through photos of my student years, Poängs are in so, so many of the pictures. The chair itself is arguably relatively unoffensive; I just find its prevalence deeply boring.
