Egg Chair @ Target 🙂 Check it Out  

um...
Totally. Speechless.
All I could do was stare...until I realized that there were reviews from people who had actually BOUGHT it! My favorite comment was:
"WARNING- This chair is not red. It is wine-colored and uncomfortable.
It looks very nice, however. I still like it!"
Has anyone else noticed that Targets online presence is a vast mish-mash of 'shabby chic' and the above mentioned, bizarrely interpreted, 'modern' design?

that is the ugliest piece...
that is the ugliest piece of crap I have ever seen and Target should be ashamed of themselves.
They are considered to be one of the great design Icons for the middle class, and to make a piece of crap like that!!!!!
that just plain UGLY,

Typical Target
low class furniture style.

Target
Target was selling some nice looking furniture a awile, but they have faded out in the last two years. I'd always be excited to check out their new home section, now I see all the crappy/easily damaged products and keep walking past. That "Egg chair" looks more like a cat scratching post, the value of the real Egg chair just raised $200.

ugh !
...and then somebody comes to your home, spies your REAL egg chair and says '...oh my sister's got one of those, she got it from Target!' ...:-(

Eww!
That is truly horrible. That is what a 'knock-off' is in my book. It's a travesty.

I think Target got a lot of furniture a few years ago from someplace that went out of business. Or maybe Target bought them out---that's more likely, i guess. It was someplace I'd never heard of and I don't remember the name. They offered the furniture only online, not in stores. Maybe that the stuff that looked good but now it's gone and they have junky stuff again.

Wow!
This really hurt my feelings! Once I got over the pain I couldn't stop giggling.

1962-1971: The founding of Target
Target's original bullseye logo from 1962 until 1968.
.
In 1962, the Dayton Company, using a concept developed by John F. Geisse, entered discount merchandising by opening its first Target discount store in Roseville, Minnesota, a suburb north of Saint Paul. The name "Target" originated from Dayton's publicity director, Stewart K. Widdess, and was intended to prevent consumers from associating the new discount store chain with the department store. The new subsidiary, Target Stores, ended its first year with four units, all in Minnesota. Target Stores lost money in its initial years, but in 1965 it reported its first gain with sales reaching $39 million, allowing a fifth store to open in Minneapolis. In 1966, Bruce Dayton launched the B. Dalton Bookseller specialty chain, which became the largest hardcover bookseller in the United States.[5] The bookseller chain was named after the founder, but with the "y" in Dayton replaced with an "l". Target Stores expanded outside of Minneapolis by opening two stores in Denver, Colorado, and sales exceeded $60 million. In 1967, the Dayton Corporation was established and it went public with its first offering of common stock, and it opened two more Target stores in Minnesota resulting in a total of nine units.[8]
In 1968, Target changed its bullseye logo to the one currently in use, and expanded into St. Louis, Missouri, with two new units. That year, Target Stores experienced a transition phase: Target's president and co-founder, Douglas J. Dayton, went back to the parent Dayton Corporation and was succeeded by William A. Hodder, and senior vice president and cofounder John Geisse left the company. He was later hired by St. Louis-based May Department Stores, where he founded the Venture Stores chain.[8] Target Stores ended the year with 11 units and $130 million in sales. In 1969, it acquired the Lechmere electronics and appliances chain that operated in New England, and expanded Target Stores into Texas and Oklahoma with six new units and its first distribution center in Fridley, Minnesota.[9] The Dayton Company also merged with the Detroit-based J.L. Hudson company that year, to become the Dayton-Hudson Corporation consisting of Target and five major department store chains: Dayton's, Diamond's of Phoenix, Arizona, Hudson's, John A. Brown of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Lipmans. In 1970, Target Stores added seven new units, including two units in Wisconsin, and the 24-unit chain reached $200 million in sales.[8] That year, Dayton-Hudson also acquired the Team Electronics specialty chain that was headed by Stephen L. Pistner.[10]

anyone have a idea why t...
anyone have a idea why the Nelson office never made there way to Target, if they were around today that is the type of customer they would be after,
I love Micheal Graves, but for some reason, i have no idea why his stuff never took off?
all great looking and reasonable,
Do you have to be dead for your stuff to go to the moon price wise? ,
Graves has been sick, but that would be sad that the poor guy has to die for his stuff to bring the big bucks,. and does anyone other than Target sell his goods, He has one of the most Iconic clocks of the 20th Century,

Did you see the last review on that chair?
To quote:
"5 STARS....The most luxurious treasure on earth., March 18, 2008
Reviewer:gaymann1 "gay man"
This chair is an exact replica of the original Arne Jacobsen design. The materials used are of a much higher standard than the Fritz Hansen version. If you buy this chair you be buying a piece of artistic treasure that will only gain in value in the years to come. This is a true piece of luxury that has it all curves ,comfort , quality ,and most of all a jaw dropping figure.If there is one item on earth that you must have this is it. 5 Stars al the way!!!!!!!!!!"
Wow, I really can't tell the difference! No doubt made exactly to Arne Jacobsen's specs. But don't forget, Target uses way better material than Fritz Hansen.
