    Exactly - I think a lot of companies today get lost trying to create all these "synergies" instead of just concentrating on their core product.

    And I agree, these chairs are not something I'm going to buy for my home...maybe I'm just not hip, young or cool enough anymore to "get it"?

    I'd rather have the lounge leather seats out of Skooby they feel good & look great, unlike those oddball Republic of Fritz Hansen seats. Although Babs would give me the thumbs down on that idea. :cool:

    Those were interesting design back in the 50's. The redo in the 70's wasn't good, nor is this one. Stick to designing cars MINI. All these other stuff is a distraction.
