laughing my ass off FAKE WEGNER SIGNATURE  

Bold?
That's what the Sancchettos are all about: boldness...
LuciferSum - Wouldn't it be fun to "create" diFrutta as a designer by purposely putting items on ebay and watch the whol thing grow?
Oh, and of cause you would win the auctions if you made an offer that cannot be refused!
by the way, a brutalist showering cap - priceless, can you make a sketch?

Sure...
I think it looks like a rusty metal bucket with a handle.

I'm game
I will find the tackiest thing I have slated for sale next week on ebay and cite a possible attribution to G. S. di Frutta. If the fifties are now the "Eames Era" and the seventies are the "Panton Era", I think we can claim the eighties as the "di Frutta Era" with relatively little effort. O, such delicious wickedness.

More amusing still
would be to figure out WHO the bikini-clad "Di Frutta" guy is, and then invite him to this forum. It's a shame he's unaware of his cult following.
Maybe he'll stumble upon it unwittingly, someday... while researching his mahogany association number, or something.

I think
it's Spanky.

sorry
I iz totally female, always have been, always will be.
Gianni is the result of a Speedo google image search. Though I'm sure he's equally google-able as a fabulous designer, if we only knew his actual name. Or maybe he will be now that we know what he should be named...??

I emailed
the seller of the desk to ask if they'd considered the possibility the signature is a later addition, due to it's rather amatuerish nature.
They haven't replied..

I feel ashamed
to have started this fruit full debate about banksy versys gianno verspedo (versace by disguise) but feel rightly so to those of us who shoud club together and create a totally fictitiuos designer and just load the odd piece to ebay and see who buys and who pee's them selves
Let the challenge begin.
I wonder is any of you have heard or the rosewood cod piece exqusitly hand carved by andreas ebbesen. HE schooled under ron jeremy and took his designs to the masses in disguise!
I will be listing such RARE and GENUINE design on EBAY soon so
get your hard earned $$$ £££ ??? ready as you can expect a fierce bidding war.

Should we
Should we establish some set of rules to govern Gianni Saccha DeFrutta's designs? Or was he just that prolific as to design both a Brutalist showercap AND the infamous SpeedoChair?
Should everything be some how related to the saccha de frutta?

Establish a bio
Who did Gianni design for? His own company or others? Did he have a partner? Let's flesh him out.

di Frutta for Schwinn
I've found evidence that he designed for Schwinn bikes at some point in his career.

I think....
....he was the genius behind the Macho cologne bottle. But that was early in his career when he was more literal.

Sure, you can attribute a few designs to him...
but how do you starry-eyed dreamers expect di Frutti to successfully pull this thing off, and hobnob with the other design swells, when he doesn't even own a pair of pants?

Excellent
'shopwork -- the shadow makes it, of course. Another spit-take.
[showercap]:
"Sure...
I think it looks like a rusty metal bucket with a handle."
Didn't our gustavo already do this one, a while back ? Maybe *he's* the notorious Gianni in disguise. . .
Carry on. We've needed something like this, for a while now. . .

Anyone know Heidi Klum?
Perhaps the next Project Runway challenge could be to design an ensemble for our scantily clad Gianni.
