Pretty darn stupid
I find it ridiculous....and besides, what makes this bunch of goofballs assume that all design collectors are straight?

I agree/see your point
In fact many are gay. I don't think they are assuming ... perhaps they are just catering to the straight design crowd. Feel free to start a homosexual version if you like. Whatever toots your horn.

Good taste and bad taste
I've read more than once that when Hans Knoll organized the photo shoot for the Womb Chair and had a model dressed as a hobo black minstrel, Florence Knoll hated the photo because she thought it was in bad taste and "undignified". She, of course, was right to some extent.
But this website is just plain dumb....

See "Modernism" Boomarang's ads 3 or 4 issues back
My books are in storage!%*@ but the ads used to feature "bears", a while back.
I have never met a gay dude who seemed to dislike seeing a pretty (I'm assuming) naked woman.
While I'm making generalisations, I,m happy to report that I'm seeing more women who are into mcm+. Yes, the heavey, hairy dude in the ad is unlikely to have been intended for them.

Nudity overkill
I find lots of design to be very feminine. Seems like a great combo of nude women and furniture (yes, I'm straight)...but seriously, is it necessary? I've begun to ask myself if there will be any gorgeous women left who haven't posed nude.

I don't know anything about art
...but I know what I like.

It that t he website that...
It that t he website that , that big fat fat white bald headed guy with hairy back slingging his ass over a panton cone chair? check out Boomerang with that big fat black chick ruining a perfectly good coconut chair !!!! Who ever told these folks that was cool ? was pulling a fast one and playing a joke on them.
These are amongst the grossest ads , I have ever seen.
Does not matter what color black white, yellow , you are, or what Gender you are male or female or Gay or Straight
These ads are just plain gross!!!!!!!
I would not buy dog collars or poop paper from these folks , they more than likely have the cool lava light with the bead curtins and incense burning thinking this will get you in the Retro moooooooooooooooood, cool baby right on.

What the
I have that same Friso Kramer table.

any publicity ...
...

Isn't that a speaker or...
Isn't that a speaker or stereo of some sort by Archille Castiglioni? Or am I off?

You must not be from the South. I know very many.
I think the photograpy of this site could be more artistic/tasteful. I would rather see a consistency of higher quality pieces with tasteful positions and actual good photography. It could be better. One girl here appears to be borderline too young, which is bothersome, and I would prefer any shot exposing genitals to be coincidental based on a quality shot, rather than it being the subject. Make sense?

So it is a fully functioning...
So it is a fully functioning stereo. I assume there is no turntable. Have you ever heard one? I wonder if it sounds as good as it looks.
Does anyone know what these are worth. Screw an iHome! I wanna plug my iPod into one of these!!!!

digups
Once upon a time, before I was extremely well versed with designers, I considered these Kramer pieces to be an inferior nod to Prouve. I had a great opportunity to buy a parge table and 8 dining chairs like this. I don't remember the price, but it was dumb low. I passed it up. I feel silly. I really like these.
