The general consensus seemed to be that the quality of the chair, as well as other pieces like PacMan hand grenades and a peacock-feathered Gucci gun, didn't meet the standards of the brands they tried to emulate. <span class="inline left"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/6/61259/19_2008/blinggun9.preview.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image preview" height="367" width="550"></span>To hear what I think of this artwork, </p> <p><a href="http://casasugar.com/1608489">read more</a></p> http://casasugar.com/1608489#comment art artwork chair electric chair furniture gallery 1988 louis vuitton peter gronquist weird furniture Thu, 08 May 2008 13:00:08 -0700 casasugar http://casasugar.com/1608489
