Love It or Hate It: Tord Boontje Shadowly Armchair

June 3, 2009

Normally I love everything Tord Boontje touches, but I have some reservations about the Shadowly Armchair ($2,832), which he designed for Moroso. This beach chair echoes shapes used in similar chairs in the 1920s, and its plastic thread upholstery will certainly stand up to the elements. Still, I can't help but think Nightmare Before Christmas: Summer Break when I look at it. What's your take?

I like it but it DOES totally look like something out of Cat in the Hat!!

I hate the design and hate the fabric. OK, <i>hate</i> is a little strong, but <i>dislike immensely</i> should do it.

What's wrong with Nightmare Before Christmas? ;)I think it's cute in a scorpion kinda way... but a bit pricey for me (my beach chairs usually run in the $20 range lol)
