pretentiousness is costly

I like funky furniture - it's cool. I saw this placenta chair today and imagined (as I often do with funky furniture) having a modern house with clean edges full of furniture like this. There's a couple of furniture shops around here in Basel with this kind of cool, "perhaps it's comfortable but no one cares, it looks good" sort of furniture and they cost silly money. It'd be fun to own it but just not realistic. Besides, having a place full of stuff like that would probably mean you were more pretentious that a flock of camp post-grad jazz musicians.
