Obelisk Chairs

Juniper Foo | Jun 05, 2007

This brings Asterix's pal Obelisk to mind. For those not familiar with the French comic characters, Obelisk is Asterix's closest buddy who works as a menhir delivery man when not bashing up Roman legionnaires. This may well have been the inspiration for the Obelisk Chairs. Stacked together, they certainly resemble Obelisk's giant quarry stone. And it's a great idea for space-starved homes. Taken apart, they magically morph into a party of one table and four aluminum frame chairs wrapped in woven polyethylene, with white cushions. But at nearly US$9,000 an asking price, that's one hot seat to park your guests on. Nahhh. Beanbags, anyone?
