One fan of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko was so taken with Shaft’s choice of heroine seating that he not only identified the designer chair in question, he went so far as to buy it and install it in his room for the full experience.
The chair is apparently a Finnish import and costs in the region of $1000 – it seems likely Shaft never laid eyes on the real thing but instead relied on the marvels of Google Images.
To top it all, the buyer doesn’t seem to like the chair very much:
“So, what’s it like?”
“You can’t hear much going on outside, it feels a bit strange. I don’t think you could sit in it for long periods.
I had to get it into my room on my own, that was tough…”
For those of lesser means but similar dedication, there is always the budget option:
“Who are you?”
“The new Number Two.”
“Who is Number One?”
“You are Number Six.”
Just $1,000? Sorry, but that is not the real Aarnio Eero. The real chair is about 6-7 times more expensive.
If that thing had armrests, I’d be living it up like a boss.
That’s actually a very tasteful chair. Luckily for that otaku, if he ever manages to get a girl, that’s what she’ll believe too.
It’s expensive because it’s an antique, designed in the 60’s.
