Think about the great Cabbage Patch Doll wars of the 1980s; the unprecedented IKEA stabbing of a few months ago; or even the $50 iBook sale in Virginia - as recently as this week - during which someone was beaten with a folding chair and one woman chose to wet herself rather than surrender her place in the queue. Class act. We're just saying, it may be worth bearing these incidents in mind if you're planning to attend the Vitra one day sale this Saturday. After all, their star buys include an Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman for fifty quid (oohh), a Van Severen MVS Chaise for one hundred (ahhh), and a white leather Eames office chair for £450 (BINGO!). |
