We love these couple of advertising images put out by Vitra, showcasing a myriad of mundane and unique household objects that complement the ever classic Eames aluminum chair. It helps we've always been a sunny disposition lover of all things orange. More conservative tastes prevail below, under the jump...
We'd love to see Vitra continue this ad idea to other products in their catalog. Better yet, we'd love to see our readers' version of the same idea with their favourite home decor furnishing...maybe this weekend we'll try it out ourselves (if we can make enough room in our living room).

Although I "compliment" your effort above, the intended effect was to convey that the advertisement is "in praise or admiration" of the design in the title, but I did incorrectly use "compliment" in the stead of "complement" in the body text, simply made as a typo. In hindsight, using both words in the post was inviting trouble.
I like the idea of these ads for it shows that if a little thought was put into it, the lowly object can be made into something elegent just by choosing a similar color (in this case a variation of orange in the same tonal family) in a bowl say to put near the Eames chair to tie the 2 together.
I think the biggest thing here is that all of the shades of that color are harmonizing together to create cohesive grouping.
