So, which is more desireable? Tim's Webco, or the mid century modern Eames lounge chair? Get out there and vote:

1) A Webco BMX bike, apparently:

2) An Eames Lounge Chair:

You can have the chair.....if it's Eames era, I'm down with the wall clocks!

Plus, the chair now has a scuff mark from that pedal...

that "Eams Era" chair looks fabulous next to that 1990s era Wal-Mart floor lamp.

My heart says Webco, but my back says chair.

Looks like the chair leads the polls. I was going to say "how embarrasing for Tim," but either way he wins.

How about mount the chair on the Webco....needs pads anyway...mount the foot stool on the neck...Reilley gets the bars...everyone's happy...well except for Tim maybe...

I never even noticed a chair in the picture until now.... I voted Webco!

Very very cool Webco, but I'll take the chair and ottoman.

My reason, I can use that chair... The Webco, my knees would be all up in those bars and my chin.

Second reason, that Eames setup is a better investment and would look better in my house.

I have a fake (reproduction, a bad one at that) Eames setup. Bought it a garage sale for $75.

uhhh, no. that is a '50s vintage floor lamp. original finish all around. new wiring though.

i guess you can get complacent living in LA. Eames stuff is everywhere - vintage furniture stores all over LA.

That mid-century thing is getting a little played don't you think? I mean I'm a fan and all that but it's just to easy to get the stuff. Most of the major pieces are still or back in production. All it takes is a little cash and you can do the entire house up. Now the Webco, that's a different story. Don't find those at the local mall. I know TIM put some time in to tracking that one down. I'd say the Webco is as important as that chair if not more so.
