So cute. It reminds me of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh chair charm bracelet the Metropolitan Museum of Art sold during his exhibit. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it then and there.
One of these chairs costs $500 and they're donating $10 of that to Haiti relief. I'm not impressed.
They don't *have* to donate anything.
I need one.
Is anyone else getting sick and tired of seeing mid century modern chair designs being used to death in everything other than furniture?! I mean, posters, miniatures, graphics, and now jewelry? Are these going the way of the "keep calm carry on" trend....?
@ alison - I agree with you 100% on the "keep calm and carry on" trend. *HATE* those things. I love mid-century design, but feel some people overkill with it. Incorporating a few key pieces is cool, feeling like you are walking into a time capsule, not so cool.
Agreed. A little bit goes a long way. Isn't that the key to good design? Knowing when to say "when" and guiding people to make smart decisions on selections and not overdo anything? I know I have to sit on my clients sometimes to keep them from wanting to incorporate everything they have ever seen in a magazine.....but the charms ARE cute. But not for 500 bucks!
@Alison et al, yes!!! I thought I was the only one who was tired of this!
It is overkill and, in a way, unoriginal. I'm tired of Eames loungers, especially. And Keep Calm Carry On makes me roll my eyes every time I see it!
I want the shiny!
What's funny is that outside of this target audience the "keep calm and carry on" poster is very fresh, and the chairs are entirely unfamiliar :-)
@RubenFIDM I noticed that none of the chairs are named after the actual chairs they portray... I think they don't have the licensing or something. Did you notice the "Bent Chair" which is really the molded plywood chair? Or the "Scoop chair"
Also, I think it's funny they only donate $10. Yeah it's great they are donating some, it's better than not, but are these really worth the price anyway? It reminds me of the Ethos Water they sell at starbucks... yeah they donate 5 cents to kids who need clean water which is cool, but they charge a lot more than 5 cents above what a normal bottled water would be. I just hate that people profit so much off of trying to seem charitable.
as a designer I felt compeled to comment. You are dissing a designer for giving up to 5% of sales to charity? That's not 5% of profit it's off net sales. Most designers make about 40% margins. So they are donating about 15% of the profit. Do you donate 15% of your income? I say congratulations to these guys for not only making beautiful jewelry, but also for donating to such a good cause.
