REMNANT CHAIR - for a remnant life?

I do not want to be rude, but isn't this REMNANT CHAIR an abuse for the elegant lines of Mies van der Rohe's famous chair? Although the author Bo Reudler says that

"The Remnant Chair pays homage to its predecessors, the Barcelona Chair and the
PK22 but has its own distinct personality.",

I can see only some very depressing form of similarity.

"The cushions are upholstered with remnant fabrics salvaged from local
furniture upholsterers."

- didn't we depreciate sustainability and eco-awareness into a flag for gaining
popularuty? Couldn't we design and produce furniture without the feeling of
going backwards? I do not accept this trend in contemporary design - it has nothing to do with the role of design to make our lives better.

Just compare:

Can the chair at the beginning of my post be a homage to this one?
