Stylish Splurge.Thanks to Williamsburg's The Future Perfect, we finally had a chance to try out Jaime Hayon's Double Poltrona. Part of the
Showtime collection, the small-scale sofa is comfy, chic and � unfortunately � very, very expensive ($9850)...

I have to wonder, what makes a piece of furniture cost 10,000$?
Maybe it's made from a recycled Mazeratis? And/or... from the chin hair of a rare breed of castrated miniature Tibetan goat-sheep hybrids?
Whatever makes people pay $10,000 for it is what makes it cost $10,000.
It may be small, but it's style screams McMansion -- and so does the price. I think it's awful.
The pillow is nice, though.
i'd like it if the backing cushion weren't quilted/tufted. it'd be a nice sci-fi mod piece if it were just smooth and flat upholstery. but probably still more than 8 months rent for me...
coordinates nicely with the honeydrip credenza!
ewww. what's with the wildly overpriced and shockingly ugly pieces today?
The future is not so perfect if the dollar is that weak.
Maybe the blonde comes with it?
If I had the money, I would consider buying it....as long as there is a promise that the blonde would not come with it.
Is the Blonde even real? Her neck is craned off to the side a little to severely to be human. I half expect that when she turns her head back around (a full 360 turn) she'll have no face whatsoever; Just a hollow tangle of sparks and wires where her face should be.
At first I really liked it and wished there was a version made for the outdoor use. But the more I stare at it the more it reminds me of the tiny toy furniture from a Barbie Dreamhome.
Are you sure you didn't get the concept wrong and that it's actually a collectors edition My Size Barbie Robot complete with loveseat?
I really love this. I'm not saying I'd spend the money on it, but I think it is beautiful.
