my bambino can kick your bambino's ass

I would like to start out by saying is there anything

that I have posted that

greg.org

has not already posted somewhere else

3-4 years earlier?

Most probably on

daddytypes,

since most of my gibberish

is not worthy the pixels

that greg.org is written on.

But daddytypes,

I can hang with that crowd....

These pictures are from

"A Misura di Bambini

Cent'anni di mobili per L'infanzia in Italia (1870-1970)"

It's pretty good,

but no real need to buy it.

Just print out this post.

Unless you can read Italian,

then buy it,

I guess.

Maybe you should, maybe you shouldn't.

Who am I to say?

Ok, you should buy it.

What? You don't read Italian?

Then don't buy it.

Seriously.

Forget about it.

You don't need it.

These stools are amazing though.

Circa 1920-30

Roma

From a country school

1920s.

This is more like it!

Giacomo Balla

1914-18

Giacomo Balla

"Futurballa"

1970

Huh? 1970? I know in 1911

Giacomo changed his name to 

Futurballa,

but 1970, I think that is a misprint.

Really, no need to buy this book....

Giacomo Balla

1928

Giacomo Balla

1932

Why can't I find some of this shit when

walking the floors of Parma 

for 12 hours straight day after day?

Antonio Rubino

1928

Dude, this chair freaks me out!

Creepy McCreeplerton......

Look at this suave little rug rat.

1939

Unknown Designer

1926-36

This is cool, 

but I really don't love the chair desk combo.

Unless it looks like these:

Gastone Rinaldi

1949

Rainmondo Uggeri

1960

These are super cool.

Doesn't look like they actually made them though.

Too bad.

Designer Unknown

1950

Look how cool this thing is!

WAIT!

It's a poop chair!

I hate poop chairs!

Cover that hole and rip that tray off the front

and then my friends you have a killer child's chair.

Camillo Nardi-Greco and Lorenzo Castello

1942

Super cool

GO CUBS!!!!!

Gio Ponti

1938

I love me some Gio.

That should be my next 

"Man Crush"

Carlo Mollino

1943

Even better! 

LOVE me some Carlo!!!

Unknown Designer

1950

1950? I don't think so. 1968-1978

We have established 

that I can't read 

Italian, 

so I can't read the caption,

but why is this

 CREEPY

photo in this book?

Because he is sitting on a 

child's chair?

Really?

Is the guy in the 

Toga

pinching his own nipple?

Robert Mango

1956

These are so great.

I want everything shown except for the

crying little man.

Hans von Klier

1964

Oh, 

Ro/Lu, 

where is your kids chair line?

Gorges Coslin

1966

This photo makes me happy!

Although the more I look at it.... the kid in the

box looks a little concerned, and the kid pulling it looks a little

too into it....

Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper

1960-64

This is a disaster waiting to happen....
