Cool Idea: Daddy's Fatties Chair by Tracy Deramus

by POPSUGAR Home 3

The Bertoia Diamond Chair ($909) is a classic that needs no fiddling with. But a little reinvention never hurt anyone. Or has it? In this case, I think Tracy Deramus deserves some props for Daddy's Fatties Chair ($2,750), which features vintage neckties hand-woven into Harry Bertoia's steel masterpiece. The new design looks more like one of the Campana brothers' showstoppers than a 1952 archetype. I've seen neckties woven before by Alabama Chanin, but this guy employs less country sweetness and more bravado. What do you think?
