oh look, something else I don't want

Insa and Rousseau are following the success of last years bubble chair with this new lounger and I must say I have mixed feelings: Con: it's hideous and in too many ways to mention. Pro: it has a topless chick sprawled over it- and there in lies the enigma that is Insa.

The artist/designer/compulsive whinger Insa is forever collaborating with a range of fashion and design brands the product of which is a plethora of already horrendous consumer must-haves made worse by Insa's eye bending drawing, however where there is an Insa collab there is also a set of boobs. Insa's obsession with optical illusions is only rivalled by his obsession with a good rack and in almost all the promo shots for product he has lent his pen to there will be a scantily clad model sexifying it up. It is a cheap and mindless way to sell, but it has given an extra dimension to Insa's trademark style and I think it works for him, especially considering the market he appeals to- young deginy fashiony types. It's a shame that Insa's trademark prints lend themselves so badly to anything other than a canvass (be that actual canvass or any other flat surface he chooses to adorn with his optical wizzardry) because he is definitely talented and his work is genuinely good, well thought out and I expect time consuming so it seems a waste to be ruining it on a pair of shoes, but then I feel I'm in the minority judging by his popularity and his on going and ever expanding collaborations.

You can check this chair out at rousseau.co.uk and check out Insa's blog here, though be warned he is constantly whining about people ripping his off- no one likes a sour puss.
