Thin-spiration. We knew he was a photographer, but now Hedi Slimane of Dior Homme has designed a series of furnishings. Made from ebonized stainless steel, the sleek structures include chairs, desks and shelves based on a grid pattern of consistent shapes and proportions...

Very difficult to imagine sitting in any of these sculptures.
The use of the word "thin-spiration" (along with the rag doll human subject and literally rail-thin furniture) is kind of creepy. The (most?) common context for the word "thinspiration" is eating disorders and the pro-ana movement. I know that the authors here are very nice and accepting, and I don't mean to be unkind, but this word usage sort of confirms for me the occasional weird feeling I get that the site's moralizing apartment size bleeds over into body size.
didn't karl lagerfeld buy out the enire collection some time last year or so?
ohhhhhh....highly possible. Karl LOVES Hedi...
These would be so fabulously fun as dollhouse furniture that I may have to get some sticks and glue. For real-life sitting on a chair with no back tilt, not so much.
