some tables

Carl Auböck
Vienna

Man,
I'm kinda in a funk right now.
I just discovered that tables aren't as sexy as chairs.
For some reason I had always thought they were.
But after digging through some old 
books from 
"Boot Island"
(Italy)
printed during the sexiest time ever 
for furniture design,
the 1950s,
(in my opinion)
I have decided that I was wrong all these years, 
and that chairs are 
way sexier.
Maybe the rest of y'all already knew that.
Thanks for keeping it a secret!
