So I'm at a place where no Design Addict wants to be, my Wife wants a piece of furniture that I don't. Vitra has brought back the wiggle stool exclusive to MOMA and I though I'd show my wife for fun, well guess what, now she wants it. 🙁

Whats your opinions on the stool, is it worth the $500 they are asking? Although it's a fun item, I really have no interest and am trying to steer her away from it. There is not really a place for it in our place(although she would argue that I could find a place if I wanted it).

Don't look in the diaper.
Tell her it looks like baby doo-doo run through a pasta press. Maybe she'll reconsider...
If that's too unappetizing of an opinioned description, exchange baby doo-doo with Mocha Ice Cream.
Thought I'd edit this to include that the above statements were meant to be dicouraging a purchase, and not a reflection of the design itself.

Aaaaaah Butterfly stool
The Butterfly stool has always been on my list of wants, but it doesn't spark that tear in her eye like it does with me. I always did wonder why Vitra didn't re-issue the Wiggle stool at the same time as the chair. They seem to be selling well, the stock keeps running out. She is the boss, so i'll need to find a way for her to pity me or we'll be putting a little wiggle in our house. 🙁

Could be worse
It may not be your favorite design, but she IS desiring a piece of design history. Get it. When she want's a lazy boy next to it then argue.

and after....
Good idea LRF, I'll tell her:
"Hay you, I'm the boss"
and
"Things will go the way I say"
and
"I'll tell you what you need"
Then she will be very helpful and bring some bedding out to the Sofa for me. After that she'll order those la-z-boys with foo-foo and frill. Last but not least, after I get out of the hospital she will take a Jigsaw to all our stuff(and yes, she knows how to use one.)

I like the wiggle fine
Buy the damn thing. Make your wife happy! It's worth it. Next time she'll be understanding of that design that you just can't live without (that she couldn't care less about).
