	title of this thread your message Koen, you are a blasphemer! Alter a 20th c design icon? Mies is surely swivelling in his grave. The nerve of you... I love it. As for my garage finds? Well they don't really qualify as steals because I bought them from people who knew what they had but couldn't manage to sell at the usual elevated price... but I managed to buy: 2 ion chairs by Gideon Kramer in orange, stamped American Desk 1972 underneath, for $150 U.S. each. They were designed for the Seattle World Fair in 1962. I consider this chair to be one of the most beautiful fiber glass chair ever designed and by far the most comfortable...(now awaiting howls of protest from rabid Eames enthusiasts) 1 Gaetano Pesce "Fish Design" fruit bowl for which I paid $150 U.S. unexpectedly left over at the end of my second year in architecture school. I decided to buy myself something nice since I hadn't in such a long time and this object is still one of my most prized possessions. I approached Mr. Pesce at an interior design show once and told him that story. I brought the bowl with me in a knapsack knowing that he would be in attendance. He was very touched that I shared the story with him. Oil and Vinegar bottle from Droog Design for 25$ U.S. A very clever object that works on the principle that oil and vinegar separates therefore it can be kept in the same vessel so long as there are two spouts, one placed at the top and the other at the bottom. I'm going to start a complementary thread to this one about what objects you wish you owned. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
