	title of this thread your message I recently saw Jehane Kuhn speak - she worked at the Eames Office for the last decade of it's existence. When I asked her about the idea of reverence - that these pieces were icons her reply was basically - prototypes were treated with due respect to their history - but everyone around the office used whichever production chairs they could find. The furniture wasnt taken as seriously as the function it provided. If too much reverence is placed on items they lose their purpose - like a hollow ritual instead of a living ceremony. While I probably wouldnt have a patchwork Egg chair I am happy that they are available. It shows that Fritz Hansen doesnt take themselves too seriously. This is, after all, the company that produced much of Panton's work....and Panton was NOT about being serious. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
