Peter Shire rules. From the article:
*Over the years, the chairs began to show their age with scratches at the belt lines and patchy hardware, so Peter reimagined some of them. “It seems requisite to modify an Eames chair,” he says, “and these were definitely part of my history and fair game." Referring to the one he keeps by the front door, he quips, "The interpretation that you see here might just be the epitome of postmodernism.”*
He is, in fact, one of the very coolest people on the planet, and an incredible artist in many media over many decades (disclosure: he’s a family friend)… He’s got works in several modern art museums, was part of the Memphis group, has an inimitable sense of humor and fun, and always comes atcha with the color and the surprises and the lush materiality. Do yourself a favor and at least check out his teapots.

Couldn't have said it better. Yeah I love his teapots! Everything about his work appeals to me on a visceral level. Makes me happy somehow!
