What might someone bid for a little forethought. It certainly looks like a chair in need of some serious design thought. But what do I know. I,m only a designer of "RETROGRADE AVANT GARDE" design. I am now designing off the shelf, do it yourself, open source, nonproprietary and non-hierarchic designs. Think sch 40 pvc chairs that just might be the most inspired chairs ever conceived. Guido, will you really let this post stand? I hope so. $340,000 for an afterthought. What might someone bid for a little forethought.
