The PK sofa...
?.in a previous thread would certainly do well as yet another example of disfigured icon. It raises the interesting question of what constitutes the quality of the original. I am sure we all know that the Eames' would not have reached the recognition they so well deserve with this version of the 'Lachaise' chair. But the story-line would have been the same:-the use of innovative materials-the inspiration by the Lachaise sculpture in the MoMA etc. etc. So what makes it outstanding is not the general shape, the choice of materials etc. but the proportions, the details the balance between the base and the shell. The same could be said about the PK sofa. The general shape is the same, the construction and materials are similar. Again, the difference is in the details. It seems to me that there is a lesson there for the many aspiring designers that seem to rely only on the basic idea or the concept, rarely on the refinement of the execution-which, by the way requires much more time and hard labour to achieve.

george nelson clocks
In reference to the lovely silverware Nelson clock above -- they have several others as well and they're selling them and marking them as a BRAND called George Nelson!! Saying their clocks are inspired by the designer. WTF?!?

The cushion clock is the most odd i've seen.
It has been on ebay for the past year in various vinyl
colors, mostly white. Is it really being sold at box stores?
funny stuff.

Of course this thread wouldnt be complete
Of course this thread wouldnt be complete if we didnt include the people who were kind enough to "update" the classics - bringing them right in to the 21st century nouveau riche living room.
My personal favorite is the Eames Aluminum Tandem seating. Bravo.

You'd NEVER notice the difference
Between OUR product and the real thing. Unless you happened to measure the thickness of the plywood. Seriously - it looks like they're using 3/4" baltic to make the shells!!!

But what about those giant soccer balls
in the background. What race of giants are those being exported to? :-) I knew that consumers in the west have been labeled as "big" consumers, I just didn't realize they meant it literally.

The George Bench
The seller, American Modern Furniture, describes it this way:
"A must-have icon of modernist design. Solid hardwood construction, built to last! The George Bench will be the most versatile and stylish piece of furniture you will ever own."
Wee!
You can also buy AMF's famous "Potato Chip Chair" on their website and lots more George Stuff.

Every time
Every time I think I've seen it all the magical Internets provides me something else to laugh about. Below is one (of a set) of four Barcelona DINING chairs! I literally fell off the couch laughing when I saw this.

I can just picture myself, sprawled out on it, wearing nothing but my coincidentally perfectly matching briefs.
Nutz indeed, nutz indeed.....
