Most people will react to the blatant misogyny--and should, frankly--but the other aspect of it is just this type of design in general, the type of design that attempts to make of a chair a “real show piece” for the room. I firmly believe that a chair should quietly do its job and should be designed to blend into the room in which it resides. If it calls attention to itself, it belongs in another room. And sometime like this… Oh, Lord, it is just wrong on so many levels. Who on Earth would want such a thing? And think of all the raw materials that have been consumed to produce…. THIS! I was going to write more, but I can’t.
