Obelisk Chairs: Worshipful Seating
May 2 2007
There’s something strangely compelling about this item of furniture from Janus et Cie, as if it’s tugging at the primal urge to give obeisance to a greater being. Of course, for the agnostics among you, you can just disassemble it—the aluminum coated monolith separates into...
