a couple years ago i was driving through my subdivision to work and came across a couple guys loading one of these into their pickup truck. we get these guys who come out early in the morning before trash day to pick up metal people throw out. anyways, i see them loading this into their truck and i pull over and offer them $100 for the chair. the look they gave me told me they knew what they had. :/
many more years ago i had a friend who lived above a large consignment store downtown chicago. people would come by on the weekends when the place was closed and leave stuff outside the door. i'd ask him to go down sat and sun mornings and take pictures of anything 'cool' people left there. i scored these two herman miller chairs.
in my basement now
one just like this in my office
i'm always amazed how much of his stuff gets thrown out. i have a herman miller childrens school desk for my son at home too.
