Philip Starck’s Ero |S| Swivel Chair

I love naked models, don’t you?  And especially the ones that don’t really make that much sense, like advertizing for a plastic swivel chair.  I can’t help it, I just find it incredibly amusing.  It’s like the marketing folks are sitting in the meeting saying, “Yes, Philip.  I understand it’s just another plastic swivel chair & you’re worried it won’t stand out in the crowd, but what it we put nude models in the marketing campaign?  Yes, I thought you might be tempted.”

Either way, I have been somewhat compelled to buy one of these Ero |S| Swivel Chairs by designer Philip Starck.  The egg-shaped wonder of a sitting device is only the more tempting.  You can choose from either a swivel chair, a version with legs or an egg chair with wheels.  I’m a mobile type person, so I think I’ll have to go with the egg on wheels.

Cost, $485-$700.  I wonder if it’s more to get a naked model with yours?….
