Young, your current avatar of the chair reminds me of some furniture that Bloomingdale's carried about 15 yrs ago made of corrugated cardboard! They had a cool dining table and chairs, and they were very expensive...

thanks. actually, i did that pic a long time ago before i ever saw the brabus version. i don't like having 2 logos on the car and i thought the smaller one is more subtle. i also think it makes the car look more aggressive.

then the brabus came out but they don't sell the grille...
that car looks like it can kill.

then mark tells me he's making a custom one! but he's having problems fabricating it

it's a fantastic bldg! series of signal towers in switzerland.

the cladding is copper strips that are just twisted a little (varies from face to face, and as the buildings are all over, they are also different from one to another). in the face shown, the reflection of the light frames the inner part; you really notice how the facades change throughout the day.

here's a link http://people.deas.harvard.edu/~jone...m_5/hdm_5.html
