Take a seat. A new series just debuted on Dwell. Click here for the 22 minute video of a dinner party hosted by NY design firm The Apartment - the guests are described as "12 design snobs" and the subject of episode one is talent. Via: Dwell

That is so painful to try and watch -- I couldn't even make it 9 minutes... It's tripe (because there is so very little content on what the show is supposed to be about -- talent -- but maybe the person who edited the short *didn't* have talent?). And what they were saying just wasn't that interesting or even thought provoking. Who has a dinner party and makes the *guests* do the cooking?? I guess this goes to show the general public is not interesting enough for "reality tv" and scripts are a Really Good Idea.

...and who ARE these (underfed) "Design Snobs"?
why do we care about their opinion?
if the show was a round table with, let's say Stark, Fuwasawa, Boontje.. throw in some fashion designers for good measure... Ford, McQueen, Armani... then, it might be meaningful and worth watching.

It seems like Dwell is trying to expand their product by pushing the lifestyle.

I enjoyed the way the piece was filmed. I was expecting to see real snobbery but didn't get that at all, except for the tomato and eggplant "tower". But that's o.k. they are designers not chef's. Architects build towers, snobby chefs who think they are architects build towers.

I could see an Apartmenttherapy:Apartment. I think it could be fun. Maybe if I ever finish my apartment I can host one. Someone will have to be the host snob though because I'm only good at cooking. And I promise I won't make anybody cook unless they want to.

what a bunch of pompous, self-important blow hards. god that was awful to watch. art, you really thought that the name of the salad was the only snobby, pretentious part of their soirée? i can't believe i just watched 22 minutes of unintelligent, uninteresting, forced pontification and i didn't get a single thing out of it except a great sense of relief that i wasn't one of the guests. "whoa is me! i am a painter and artist, but i earn my living branding body lotion and iced tea beverages. you have no idea the deep inner struggle the past 3 years of my life have been, knowing every day, deep down inside that i am nothing but a fraud... oh, and i'm talented too -- really really talented." natasha, do yourself a favour and just don't talk.
