Flipping through the newest issue of Metropolitan Home (April 2009), we fell instantly in love with the Number Chairs — a series of solid beech chairs with the numerals 0-9 on the chair backs. Not only does our love of typography and large-scale graphics come in to play, but the chairs are available in 180 colors!










Absolutely not for that price. If I had $600 laying about to spend on a chair, I would most absolutely buy an american icon, such as Eames - which is a supercomfortable chair. Not spend it on a chair that looks like fun, and should cost $200

It's a shame they're so expensive as these chairs look like so much fun --- the color selection is impressive!

love the look but not the price. Can i get one of these on wheels (and cheaper) for an office chair...

i love them. but that price is insane. ikea should do them for $50 a pop.

Nice selection, but $600 for a chair? My goodness...

The color range is one of the reasons WHY this chair is this price, people...
And if Ikea did this for $50 a pop, someone would then say, "Can I trust a $50 chair from Ikea?"

They remind me a lot of Ivan Chermayeff's red number 9 on 57th Street.
If I had a porch, I'd put them outside to show the house number.

While I respect your opinion, patrick (the other one), and think that you are correct in correlating the price with the astounding color selection, I think you're wrong about Ikea. If they were 50 or 100 bucks a pop you'd have folks doing Jumpstart redos on them. Or they'd become the next "Keep Calm and Carry On" and we'd get tired of them.

well... how about a diy inspiration- so many positively hideous chairs could be improved by removing the center part and putting a letter or your initial etc there. Some would be cheap to have cut too. Probably could make it for about 25 dollars

patrick (the other one), when you go out to a restaurant do you ask them how much they paid for their chairs before sitting down?
and kuskkush, people buy items they like... because THEY like them. it doesn't matter if people on a blog are tired of seeing them.
