Classics you dislike  

I generally like most of the acknowledged classics
but I'm not crazy about chair with delicate looking splayed legs.
As far Nelson, Eames, Platner, Richard Schultz, Florence Knoll, Lewis Butler, Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard, all of it's great.

The four-legged version of...
The four-legged version of Arne Jacobsen's Ant chair. I just can't ... I ... I can't freakin' stand it! No wonder Fritz Hansen didn't dare to put in into production until after Arne's death. Seeing it in white or beech veneer only makes it worse yet.

All the Panton cone chair variations are hideous. Hideous!
How'd those chairs manage to reach "classic" status, anyway? Here's another Panton clunker-- the less known "C1" (first image).
Of course, no list like this would be complete without a mention of the ghastly Memphis.
The 1980's were the nadir for design. Ooof.

Panton Heart and Bartoli 4875 Kartell Chair
I like the panton cone chair, BUT the heart version of it is just way to clunky and kitsch looking. The Bartoli chair just seems way to plain and seeing the year it was designed, it was just a takeoff of Colombo's Universale and not as comfortable either.

There is a particular
penis shaped vase that keeps popping up at auction at Wright, flesh tone color and all. Total barf. I can't remember the name of the designer, but if you follow the auctions I'm sure a few of you know what vase I'm talking about.

Ah here it is
Ettore Sottsass
Nothing says 80's like a big fake dink with a flower coming out of it.

.
Platners 1966 wire tables are classic,esp in bronze finish,esp small side table...the wire chairs in same series: UCK.Pantons stuff has its place,little of it what I call classic.

!!!
The big fake dink vase, combined with your description, made me spit out my coffee.

Platners 66 line has been in...
Platners 66 line has been in constant production, now thats quite a feat.Dink vase is amusing...needs a spray of white flowers to complete the look.

White Baby's Breath...
magnifico!

Non conformist chair - for sure.

Don't know if I loathe it
But I sure would never own the Wassily chair. Sooo uncomfortable to me.

Dislike
Loathe may be a bit strong... but certainly dislike. It just looks like a mess to me.

fear and loathing in modern classics?
the wassily sure doesn't offer many sitting positions. and it's a visual disorder, too many tubes and leather stripes...
edit: google just gave me this pic. shows how easily a wassily can be fixed
