This morning

On the way to the subway:



A filthy Eames chair!

Does anyone recognize this logo?



If it's not Vitra or Henry Miller I think it means this is a knock-off, but it's odd in that case that it is numbered.

I wonder what is underneath that narsty upholstery?

UPDATE: It's the logo of the airline Lufthansa! They must have bought a bunch of these at one time; how did it get to Brooklyn? Thanks Margot and Greg!!

  1. Hello! I can't remember how I came across your blog, but I wanted to let you know it's the best thing ever. Thank you for the laughs!

    If you grab that chair, I bet you could find a sucker on craigslist who will pay $100 bux for it, narsty upholstery and all.

  3. Thanks Liz! I am indeed going to check if it's still there on my way home. But I bet some goddam hipster already snagged it. Thanks Greggy for the detection!
