Did you know they make 300,000 dollar tables? Because I did not. Because why on earth would they? Who would buy one? Well it turns out they do, and it turns out Brad Pitt would buy one. Bloomberg news says…
Brad Pitt was among the buyers of contemporary "design art" furniture at the Design Miami/Basel fair in Switzerland, dealers said today. He paid $293,000 for a hollow white marble rococo-style table by the Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven, Director Loic Le Gaillard said today. "Most people come to Basel to look at contemporary art, but it's completely overwhelming,'' said Le Gaillard. “Then they come to the design fair and it's quiet. They can see contemporary works that are affordable and refreshingly accessible.'' Pitt's 4-foot-long "Cinderella Table'', from an edition of six, is hewn from a solid block of Carrara marble. Pitt also ordered a rug made of aluminum thread from New York dealer Cristina Grajales. The "Silver Sky" rug, created by Colombian designer Jorge Lizarazo and woven by the Colombian-based studio Hechizoo, will be priced at a rate of $175 per square foot. The exact dimensions of the star's rug had yet to be specified. Pitt was also interested in a gold lacquer-coated Fiberglas sofa by Zaha Hadid, offered by London-based dealer Kenny Schachter at $300,000.
This Kenny Schachter guy must be laughing his ass off right now. A 300,000 dollar couch? There’s no such thing. There's nothing you can do to a couch to make it worth 300,000, unless maybe you stuffed it 296,000 dollars. How GD comfortable can you really get? In this context, 300,000 doesn’t even sound like a real number. He might as well say it costs eighty hundred ten.
stupid people buying stupid shit. fuck em
I heard that the $300K couch "fists" you anytime you want. Way better than those sharper image message chairs!
hmmm…marble tables, aluminum threads, fiberglass sofa…shit for brains…yep, all materials covered
It doesn't even have a secret porn stash compartment???? Geez.
even $300,000 tables fucking wabble eventually
"Pitt's 4-foot-long "Cinderella Table'', from an edition of six, is hewn from a solid block of Carrara marble."
White, Cinderella marble? Boy, Angie and her black princess sure are going to be pissed when Papa Perfect brings this racist piece home.
$60 mil for a house, $300k for a table. Wonder how many poor black kids that kind of money could take care of. Fuck those two.
I bought a $25 shelf at Wal-Mart once, I think I got the better deal
I like this avatar of yours lexi. Boobalicious
What a fucking waste of money, Brad!
But if you fuck me on that God awful, over priced table of yours while Angelina watches, all will be forgiven.
Thanks, Pump. Funny that you should use that term. My sister in law said the same thing about my infamous rack just last night.
I would love to kick Brad Pitt and that stupid twat angie, till they're both dead………….Thanx, I feel better now. Time to go to work.
Its been my experience that furniture that is that ludicrously expensive isn't even that comfortable. Of course, for me "ludicrously expensive" means its at a store besides walmart or target.
Hey Brad,
You want to buy a Lemonade stand?
I simply must own that Silver Sky rug. Those who know me will get that.
ososexilexi, kudos on the white Cinderella observation.
Gotta say I love the name "Zaha Hadid". Totally sounds like you're laughing.
Sexilexi…my answer to your "extort" claim is back in the Nick Hogan post
I used fibreglass to patch a rust-hole in my Cortina. I didn't sell the car for $300,000 but some geezer in the pub gave me a tenner 'cos he wanted to use it for banger racing.
Thanks, gotawesome! ;)
But I'm just a cook in B's kitchen. Much like my beloved Chef Ramsay, he provides the ingredients and we simply make the most of 'em. Lobster bisque anyone?
I wonder what they will do to the black kid who uses it to reach the secret pot stash above the fridge?
300,000 would buy a lot more poor kids from other countries.
