Just wondering what DA people have hanging above their Eames chair/ottoman? I'm thinking of buying a 60's-70's abstract painting,or perhaps a C.Jere metal sculpture.Any suggestions?

To answer the first...
To answer the first question: I have a single Eclisse lamp by Vico Magistretti hanging on the wall above it.
Mary -
Funny that you should post a dream catcher. A friend and I were discussing the ability to remake objects that possess no "good design" characteristics at all. We were discussing if it was even possible to make some objects "good." The dream catcher was the first object in question, followed by the fanny pack. I don't know the answer to this, but my guess for the dream catcher would be negative. I am aware that the fanny pack has made a comeback in some circles, but I would assume it is only a fad .... not a lasting "goodness."

F.Y.I, Dreamcatchers are
a cool spiritual artifact. Based on a spider's web, they are supposed to protect children by catching bad dreams and evil spirits. I grew up in a neighborhood with nice mix of Aboriginal (First Nation) Canadians, Jews, and Catholics. Menorahs, crucifixes, and dreamcatchers were the norm in all my friends homes.
Back to the original post, I don't hang anything around my Eames chair. The Eames chair IS the art.

In the spiritual realm, perhaps the dreamcatcher does have "good design" characteristics. Yes? No?

Aesthetically speaking,...
Aesthetically speaking, dream catchers are horrifying.
I also hang a nice abstract painting of tans, reds, browns, grays near the chair.
I have a sock monkey always planted in it.

From the size...
From the size of that Dreamcatcher, no person in the world will ever have bad dream again. I think the Hula Hoop does the same with the added bonus of fun. Watch the link to see the fun someone can have then you rub a horse with one....really weird.

Hummmmm.
Actually in reality to hang that eyesore behind an Eames chair would be the ideal spot.The chair would stand out more ,because you would feel the need to focus in on something other than that monstrosity.
