The idea grew when Gavin was in and out of hospital with Klippel-Feil syndrome - a rare congenital condition characterised by the abnormal fusion of two or more neck vertebrae.

I love the concept but I’m wary of the actual results. And if LV is using it for store displays, probably beyond my means.

I’d go for a dining set if I could.

A bronze cast of one of their chairs will appear at this month's RHS Chelsea Flower Show

There’s irony in that.

What do you mean "wary of the results"? Why?

Maybe wary isn’t the word. The concept is nice but the execution looks like it needs work.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
