If you're comparing his pieces to other furniture lines it makes little sense, but in viewing them through the RO lens they fit perfectly. You need to understand his worldview in order to appreciate the furniture. I love what he has done but personally I wouldn't buy one, rather i'd do what he did to Le Corbusier and make my own. Something that in a way, is more powerful than handing over my checkbook. I agree with many of the comments on this page.

However I like the how the antlers morphs into the chair and looks purposeful in the silver chair. I think antlers and animal trophies have become cliches in the design world now. the antlers don’t look well integrated into the furniture in the first few photos — looks disjointed.

Antlers are shed naturally by deer, moose and elk. Regardless, as a conscientious consumer myself, I say that using as much of the physical remains of any animal taken for food, instead of disregarding and wasting it, is not only ecologically sound, but commendable. That said, I doubt these are real antlers, most probably cast resin. In response to Salvadore’s comment. Antlers are shed naturally by deer, moose and elk.

As far as art, it reminds me of the gallery in the living room of the movie "BeetleJuice". Though I suppose that's not fair. It’s certainly not furniture you would sit in.
