for years i've had this dream that i would be able to dedicate a room of my (future) house to be sort of a mini design museum, including having a handful of iconic chairs. cassina of italy make some absolutely FANTASTIC replicas of the originals, including amongst their collection "red and blue"and "zigzag"chairs by gerrit reitveldt, and a handful of various charles rennie macintosh, le corbusier and frank lloyd wright chairs,
and so it breaks my heart when i drop into their australian distributor, space furniture, and find that they are over $10,000 each! they also have mario canzani's stunning "tatlin" lounge by edra in red velvet, but that tops out at over $25k! i'm going to need a very understanding wife!
as if i didn't know it already, but it just helped reinforce the fact - damn it is expensive to be a fan of nice design! angry face!
