    I just noticed your blog the other day. Great stuff.
    These chairs although probably uncomfortable (esp Vasa Intestina II) are great works of art.

    Keep up the interesting finds.

    Wow those are gorgeous. But yes, most likely not for sitting. Imagine the imprint it would leave on your back and backside…

    Very nice chairs. For show, however. I don’t think they’d be very comfy at all!
