What better way to traverse the rocky terrain of hump day than to talk about some random, usually exorbitant and quite possibly ridiculous thing that I&#8217;ll never own but will continuously obsess over?</p>
<p>So every day I walk home down King Street (well, let&#8217;s be honest, not every day&#8230; some days I take cabs) past <a href="http://www.knoll.com/knoll_home.jsp"><font color="#ffcc00">Knoll Studio</font></a> and I stop and press my mittens up against the glass and fantasize about all the sleek, modern, stark looking chairs that I could (and should) have sitting oh-so-casually in my hallway.</p>
<p>Before we take this further, it&#8217;s time I reveal that I have an obsession for two things: see through materials and bright primary colours. Which is why I&#8217;m thinking of not eating this month so I can buy these:</p>

<p>Say hello to the x3 stacking chair by Marcus Moran for Knoll Studio. Not only are they inspired by the iconic metal grids of sculptor and designer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bertoia"><font color="#00ff00">Harry Bertoia&#8217;s</font></a> landmark <a href="http://www.knoll.com/products/product.jsp?prod_id=569"><font color="#3366ff">Diamond Chair</font></a>&#8230; <i>but they&#8217;re see through and bright primary-coloured!  </i>These are heroin in chair form. Chair nip. If I had a baby, I would sell it for these chairs.</p>
<p>At $331 US a pop, my dream of having four multi-hued x3&#8217;s sitting on my patio as I sip mojitos and gaze serenely into the future suddenly seemed a bit more decadent than I&#8217;d originally planned. I suppose they&#8217;re worth it because each chair is created by &#8220;the bi-injection of transparent polycarbonate and a desmopan colored lattice&#8221;. Whatever, I want them just for the cute colour names that these babies come in: Tangerine, Sapphire, Lime, Clear Silver, Clear Gold and Smoke. I&#8217;ll take two of each!</p>
