Do I really want to lean back on a leather apple stem while trying to relax? Do I want to sit on faux cactus spines, repurposed chain link fence or tennis balls? Would I even attempt to vacuum dust out of these giant loops of yarn?
I'd love to hear your thoughts about designs like these and whether you would categorize them as "serious" furniture or merely novelty items.
