What about these?  

No offense Wowthatscool, but I think the barrel furniture was the climax of this post.

I'm surprised the word 'pretentious' doesn't get used around here more often.. I mean, glass houses, sure, but...

I actually like the rustic, unpretentious, hilariously kitsch-AF barrel chairs. I figure the kind of people that would run a row of barrel stools down their dark basement bars in the sixties would probably statistically be cooler, and have cooler shit, than people that wouldn't. Such things aren't of great specific design interest in themselves, simply because they are not 'designed' themselves per se. It's an upholstered cut-down barrel with legs on it. It's primitive. The brand is not super important. The same concept applies to over 90% of the so-called 'identification' requests on this website, but modern styles usually prevail over more primitive ones, at least in this context. Non-'design' items can still be incorporated very successfully as part of a larger interior design. When the larger design is successful, the individual parts can show value that may otherwise have been invisible to a less creative eye.

Zephyr's going to miss out on some good stuff sometimes. That's okay.

The thing I don't like is the standing in line, the numbers, the frantic clutching greedy fingers..

Then again, it does get the heart beating, doesn't it?

Consumerism is a disease.

There is clearly a fine line between passion for a design aesthetic and pretentiousness, and I am not going to argue that I don't step over it, .... often.

I do appreciate the documentation as to the maker/designer? of the red chairs. I think it is important to capture all of this information, because there are no doubt numerous people out there with these chairs, trying to figure out their place in design history. It just wasn't a very exciting read.

I can also appreciate people adorning their house with kitschy barrel furniture. It is merely a difference of design focus. I prefer things that I enjoy looking at surrounding me in my home, other people prefer objects that make them laugh/smile, adorning their home (I am still friends with these people; albeit far less cool than them, obviously, and rarely invited to their basement parties).

Consumerism is indeed a disease. I try to rationalize my affliction and reduce its damage by dealing in the second hand market as much as I can. Although I agree, the loss of civility at said second hand markets, is becoming increasingly disturbing.
