Delicate tasteful faultless design.  

OK...I could be wrong, you know
I was confused by the thread. What is this piece? When was it made?
Any info?

LOOKS
like the furniture two gym coaches (female)who were very close, had in school in 76...butch, boxy, plaid...

Kind of maximalist kitsch...
Is it by Jeff Koons alter ego Jay Koonsby?

Aminal Modern...
I don't disagree that the use of natural state animal bits is antithetical to modern. Heck one of the precepts of modern is honesty of materials. Like LRF I love the southwest but don't want to 'go native' with all the adobe and blanket weaving. I have a cowhide rug in my living area that sits with the Neil Bendsten Neo Sofa, two Wassily chairs and a no-name coffe table I got at Target. It looks perfect..wouldn't want a woven rug ther at all.

Big Gulp
All it needs is the 7-11 big gulp cup holder

sdr
. But does that mean that all that has come before must be ignored, or reviled ?
In a word NO !!!

James:
Get out the hole saw -- looks like there's a place at the end of the arm for the Big Gulp/Giant Squishee holder. . .
This hunk of a chair is only excused in the context of a matching interior. It might be the latter-day (and inferior) version of the overscaled rustic pieces, sometimes made of peeled logs and boards and branches, that were made for the lobbies and lounges of some western National Park lodges in the twenties and thirties.
Here are some exterior-use examples that I like:

Arts and Crafts designers, eat your hearts out !

Wouldn't this make a great mate for the chair?
It offers real counterpoint.

Some one remind me how to post a pic...
I've forgotten where I keep my memory pills.

Another try...different image...

I FARKING hate post...
I FARKING hate post modernism, that chair should go on the karim rashid pyre.

at least the chair at the...
at least the chair at the top would let you get comfortable in front of the teev with a drink and its nor trying to be clever (and failing).

Isn't it simply awful?
Its the furniture equivalent of watching someone play tennis extremely poorly.

Amen

HP, I will drink to that (while watching the bonfire ..) Cheers !

Po Mo
I realized post modern was a cruel hoax when graves did those awful swan & dolphin hotels for Disney.
