Furnishing new house...I want these in my house!!!

...and by these i don't mean small un-supervised little children.

WHERE CAN I GET THOSE SEATS!

Jim_MDP · Aug 25, 2003, 06:06 PM

If you're serious...

It looks like nothing more than one of those exercise/rehab balls, medium size.

Can't be sure and I've never seen one in black.

i think you've seen one too many cereal commercials

the chairs are quite comfortable, and remind me of something that might be at Ikea. I don't know, though. Knowing apple, they were probably custom-designed by Ives and hand-made...

SOLID, ask Ricci, he has one, remember?

Aragorn · Aug 25, 2003, 06:47 PM

I used to know the place where you could get them, I'll have to see if I can find them.

I remember them costing about 150-200 a peice.

Jim_MDP · Aug 25, 2003, 06:48 PM

Sorry, my un-Appley bad. Wasn't thinking.

I'll go away now.

I recall seeing something similar to that while shopping for my computer chair at office depot.

I did the work and found them on that site. It wasn't as easy as it should have been.

Actually, if you wanted the exact items as they have at the Apple Store, you'd be looking for the Tato collection by Baleri Italia. Prices more in the $350-$450 range.

Kenneth · Aug 25, 2003, 11:46 PM

I don't think those chairs in the kids section is made by Baleri Italia.

Aragorn · Aug 26, 2003, 01:10 AM

Yah they are, I checked on the bottom when I was there.

RAzaRazor · Aug 26, 2003, 02:18 AM

Take 3 friends, go to the Apple store, pick up the chairs and walk out.

What are they going to do? Who is really gonna try and stop 4 guys with huge balls?

Oh, and don't go back to that Apple store again.

I'm not sure what is more absurd...

The fact that they are Baleri Italia, or the fact that you checked...

How about the fact that the Baleri Website is inaccessible to Macs?

Heh, can't get on with my Dell at work either

Xeo · Aug 26, 2003, 01:18 PM

I hate it when web designers do that. At MOST, if they really have the urge to do that, a pop up window, or just a line of text, would come up and tell the person which browser to do, but still let them TRY with the browser they are on. Once I changed the User Agent of Safari the whole page worked fine. Safari displayed it perfectly.

Aragorn · Aug 26, 2003, 03:26 PM

Heh, I checked because my sister was interested in getting one. So I turned it over to find the brand name.

Aggg! Every thing I hate about javascript (and why I mostly have it off in Safari), The first window (the root www.baleri-italia.com one) not only does a restrictive browser check, but also maximizes the window, it's my main browser window I do other things while browsing I don't want your page to fill the screen, thanks. All this page displays is a language selection (you needed full screen to do this, because?) the language selection 'buttons' also require javascript (it's just a link why the javascript). These then open a Popup window, at about 800x600 or less, remind me again why you felt the need to resize my main window to 1280x1024.
I am a professional web designer, and even I HATE these tricks.

Yeah I just love this code... heh:

if (navigator.appName != "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
check = true;
}
else {
check = false;
}

if (check == true) document.location = "./no_browse.htm";

Of course it works perfectly fine in Safari and Camino.

If anyone wants to send them an e-mail... [email protected]

Oh, lexical ambiguity... I can think of several (quite humorous) meanings for that last sentence.

Personally, I would go with the DuraBall Pro (from the fitterfirst.com website). All of the PostureBalls I had popped and I fell on my bottom, rather harshly. When the DuraBall Pro ruptured, it slowly deflated and allowed me enough time to get off.
