Title: Button tufting gone wrong..... very wrong

Hey all,  I found this when doing a little research and just had to laugh out loud.  I don't care if it IS from Milan.  :o

That was fun looking around their blog and web site.

I would think all those buttons are nails and are pounded into the wood frame.

I wonder if this is 'modern art' put to furniture. The beauty or meaning or essence is found in what the artist was trying to convey. What it looks like is not important. It's what kind of feelings it draws out of us. Certainly this would be in the category of "Interactive Art".

Thanks for the pic and link.

Back when I was a software engineer, we used to have a saying, "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."
