Wired had this illustrated, but I can't find the little blurb story online. Anyway, it's part of an exhibition called Technocraft: Design in the Age of Individuality. Great stuff in theory. In practice, who the hell cut holes in this Eames chair? And had he/she never heard of a booster seat? Sure, it looks kind of snazzy, in a sloppy way, but that's a $499 kiddie chair. Even if I weren't somewhat offended by the idea of the thing (and I am, despite understanding the desire to have things be stylish for your child), I'd be offended by the fact that someone paid nearly $500 for a chair that he/she then hacked, literally. It's one thing to hack Ikea. It's another thing entirely to mess with Charles and Ray.

It looks incredibly uncomfortable, too. Ouch, that poor kid's kneecaps—I can't even look at this picture without cringing.
oh, relax. they're saying something.
