ball chairs

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.02.15

We used to have ball chairs in the apartment in Tokyo (in fact we had only two real chairs, and one was a highchair for our then-little firstborn. Someone asked me about them today, and I had to think about why we stopped using them.

Then I remembered: our later not-quite-so-little firtsborn thought that they were such great fun it was becoming difficult to actually get any sitting time on the things.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
