Good Questions: Chairs in Audi Commercial?

AT:SF, While I watched a fair amount of NBC's Olympic coverage only one commercial managed to get me to stop my Tivo for a look. It was the new Audi "Progress is Beautiful" spot where the camera floats through a house that "modernizes" itself on the fly...

...During the final pass before getting to the point (the car) they show several chairs in the living room that look familiar but I can't figure out what they are - any suggestions?

-Tom

Anyone?

Audi, the best car I've ever had. Those chairs are great, too!

I also loved this commercial. I was paying more attention to the design and furniture than the car.

Speaking of Olympic car commercials, can we just for a moment discuss the incomprehensible Chevy Traverse ad with the hunky guy scrubbing the black toilet after ironing 30 pairs of identical jeans and a child's dress?

A little off-topic, I know--but I couldn't resist.

madsarah, all I could figure out is that they were trying to push the theme of "beautiful and functional at the same time". Let's just say they failed at accurately conveying that message. You mean there was a car in that ad?

the hunky guy commercial was the supposed embodiment of a woman's fantasy. hot guy = hot truck?

I just emailed that question - I guess I'm not surprised that I'm not the only one!
