Above
is a pictures of the new Gaudi re-designed and re-issued by Heller.
A pure nightmare ! It's even worse than their re-issue of the
Selene chair. They claim that the new version is more elegant !!!!
That's the most ridiculous affirmation I've heard in years ! It
looks more like a bad prototype of the 1970 original. And it looks to
have a matte finish to it that makes it look even cheaper. When
will they ever learn that matte plastic looks cheap and gives plastic a
bad reputation ! Original glossy Artemide plastic looks expensive
and of high quality. It almost doesn't even look like plastic.
But those companies just don't have a clue. If they can't re-issue a
classic and be faithful to its original design because they are too
lazy, why bother? Design something totally new instead. I can't believe that Vico Magistretti
approved this. Or worse, re-designed it himself. You don't
re-design perfection. A great deception ! |
