Bring on "Danish Eye for the Queer Guy"

Beurkkkk ...
It just looks, from a huge distance, without optic glasses and in the darkest night, like an original Egg Chair !

I hate to say it but mr g...
I hate to say it but mr gay man never saw a real swan chair or he would not make that comment
I think his friends should all chip in and get this poor fellow lasek eye surgery he cant see worth a crap!!!!

point of reference for ...
point of reference for all
the small chairs are called swan chairs the large ones are called egg chairs,
I have them both in my home, kihda sick that target would even go their saying the little chair was a egg chair, might be there own gig!!

6...5...4...3...2.....1.... it's knock-off lift-off !
Honestly, Iv'e seen this coming. Strap yourself into your swan chairs folks, so long as theres folk out there like our gay friend it's gonna get a whole lot worse.
That Target effort is the most hilarious thing Iv'e seen though. It looks like you would roll off the back with those angles. I wish they would do a miniature of that model.....I could use them for fire-lighters !

Target and Designers
Target uses designers for one purpose, and one purpose only: Publicity. When Target pairs with Isaac Mizrahi, or Michael Graves, or Tord Bontje they are counting on huge publicity blitzes that get people into the store. This is the prime objective of advertising anyway - get people into your store. Once there, anything goes.
Despite their outward appearance of a design savvy company Target has a vast array of knock-offs in their online marketplace. The most notable example came when Emeco sued them for pushing the 'cafe' (read 1006 Navy) chair. However, if you search "aluminum office chair" guess what pops up? About a dozen horrendous variations of the Eames Alu group. Target, it would appear, is just as concerned with a high profit margin as any other company. What is most hypocritical of them is that they do this despite their image of befriending design.
And just as a note - you dont actually have to have bought anything on Targets website to leave a comment, you just have to log on.

Gayman speaks
I betcha Gaymans comments is simply disguised sarcasm if not outright mocking.

Gayman
Gayman is most likely one of us. We should add a review with a link to the real chair.

Love it! Something that redirects back to Fritz's website would be brilliant.

Looks more like the ugly...
Looks more like the ugly duckling that comes after the egg and before the swan.
Either that or something a swan might honk up.
A clunker, at best. Fun to have something to kick around, though.

snap out of it, target
i'm actually quite disappointed in target. i do shop there for some things; i think the consumer experience is measurably better than what other discount stores offer.
their retail advertising is second to none [corporate in-house or outside agency, i don't know]. and back in 2003, they won the exclusive corporate achievement award with the national design museum, cooper hewitt. [see link below.]
hopefully the target boys and girls will get some of their design wits back and quit chasing the bottom line to the point of winning the zero authenticity award.

Sad thing is.
The sad thing is we bash this crappy chair ,but this chair wasn't meant for people who are into design.This chair just like most of the junk on the market that is geared to the masses.It isn't really meant for you or I.If we wanted a swan chair or egg chair we would search ,and find the real deal.Sadly; the vast majority of consumers really could care less about design really.Look in most homes today ,and I bet you will be hard pressed to find designer anything.If anything you will find wannabe items.Also; I don't think Target or Walmart should be where we search for treasure anyway.

Very well put, Maryanne.
Very well put, Maryanne.

Your're right
but as soon as they call the ugly thing an "EGG CHAIR", then it invites comment.
