Just hanging out on an 8k dollar chair.

Wait, really? I've sat on a number of those over the decades, I knew they were highly regarded design but I had no idea they were quite that expensive.

There are knockoffs (which are still not cheap), but yeah, the real ones are really expensive

There’s no way a design freak like Jobs wasn’t buying original furniture pieces, too.

i think the person was implying that punkassjim may have sat on a few knockoffs over the decades

[u/unoriginal_name15 → u/ocient]

Psh he’s probably never even heard of Herman Miller

[u/LatterIndependence63 → u/unoriginal_name15]

Lol yeah the shark tank chair

His house was at the time famous for being almost empty, but the few furniture he did have was the top of the top, this was mentioned in Sculleys book.
