I love ingenuity and exercising the creative spirit yet at the same time I’m perplexed about how much money people will send on, well, sorta weird stuff.
Example. A piece of furniture designed by Marijn van der Poll. It’s a substantial stainless steel cube. http://www.droog.com/products/studio-work/do-hit-chair It’s very shiny and blingy. It comes packaged with a large hammer mallet thingy. And it’ll cost you nearly $10,000. When you receive your shiny cube, you use the hammer to smash the hell out of it. Hopefully your smashing has some strategy behind it because you’re going to be sitting in whatever you end up with and it’s not like you can undo any of it. The idea is you co-create your swank new chair.
Ok, seriously, who the heck is spending 10 grand on this?
