I don't even like sports and I love this. Can't say why. Basically I think basketballs look cool, always have, even if I couldnt care less about the game.

Imagine the tactile feel of this chair as your a** palms the cushions.

Oh man, the design is awesome! My first thought was "gorgeous!" and then I heard about the basketball "leather," and it all fell apart...

As long as it doesn't smell like a basketball, I'm game.

As a vegetarian, I'm thrilled to see this design in something other than animal skin. I hope it catches on in other pieces of furniture, like the Eames lounger.

Where can I get this? I'm on the verge of buying two Barcelona knock-offs in either white or black. Basketballer orange would be sweeter.

I have dreamed of the Barcelona in a fabric for a while now. Unfortunately, this isn't quite what I had in mind... Maybe this will push someone to put some nice fabric on 'em though.
