apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

what a waste of money.

My Barbie only needs one chair.

Why not appreciate Modern Design by owning Modern Design ... instead of tiny replicas that clutter up your shelves?

what a waste of plastic. the real thing: yes. but this is just going to end up in the ocean.

Only if you are truly obsessed with Panton Chairs. Or have a Barbie who needs really expensive furnishings.

This whole thing of miniature chairs is the epitome of useless dust-catchers.

Good for holding cell phones? Or too slippery, perhaps.

I like the miniature chairs. I think they're a fun decorative item, and a cheap alternative for those of us who can't afford the real thing....

Funny, I thought of Barbie too. This is a serious waste of money, unless you're furnishing your Barbie dream home.

Maybe if you're obsessed with tiny versions of things could this be hot.
Otherwise, if you're not obsessed and you'd rather have a chair that is actually useful, these are definitely NOT.

I've seen mini Frank Gehry chairs at the AGO store site

$364!!!

Thanks Verner, these are sooo perfect for my Carnaby Street Barbie!!!

http://www.miniaturechairs.com is, if nothing else, a good place to recall the names of the chairs.

I voted not, but I don't know what is particularly different about these than other things you might admire and put on a shelf... I think there's a small chair trend, but maybe insofar as you admire a designer or don't have enough asses per square foot to sit in them all if you bought the full size versions. Other items commonly come in several sizes so you can buy the one you can afford or have available real estate to cherish and display it appropriately. If the chair wasn't an art icon, say, a ten-inch high metal folding chair, that would be a little more kooky than this. I voted not because I don't like the thing, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the trend if people want to have things that please them. It's a figurine of some sort.

I adore mini chairs, but these cost more than my budget for actual chairs. I would enjoy them, but cannot fathom a time when I have nothing better to do with that much money...
