Love It or Hate It? Umbra U+ Collection Balloona Stool

September 24, 2008

The Umbra U+ Collection Balloona Stool ($200) might be a clown's dream furniture, but just because you can wrap a stool in deflated balloons, doesn't mean you should. On the other hand, it's got that contemporary art thing going, and has a very unexpected look. What do you think?

my lil guy would be trying to chew all those bits stickin out.... so i dont think it would be good in a young childs room. it's a little too chaotic for my tastes (and i'd rather spend $200 on something else).

Haaaaa no. I mean unless I had some crazy random room and as long as I could have specific colours, then maybe.

It would be super-cute in a kids room!

I like the fun factor, but not sure I'd put it in my home.

I could do this myself.

I'd be snipping away at all those dangling ends. That and it screams "choking hazard."

Yeah I don't know about this, I think the only thing it would be good for is "art," if you wanna call it that.

I agree with Kimpossible, it's fun!

totally agree with ilanac13 - not that my taste is classy in any way, but that this just screams "arts and crafts"...

i can understand and appreciate the creativity here but it just reminds me of an arts and crafts project. i guess my taste is jut to things that are a bit more classic or a bit more simplistic.

I like it...but, balloons deteriorate over time. Unless there's been advances in balloon technology. I know I've found old popped balloons in our many junk/craft stashes, and they get all stiff and sticky and such. I saw on Craftster I think someone who had tied a bunch of small water balloons on a pair of flip flops, and I thought they looked really cute. :-)
