it was exhibited in a 'summer of love' retrospective in wien in 2006 and me and my girlfriend spent some quality time in it. you begin to think that it would be a great addition to the house and after all it shouldn't be very difficult to build... then you start to worry about dust and who's gonna clean it.
All I keep thinking about is that you would never, ever be able to clean that. Not really clean it. There would always be some spot you missed...and then you put your hand down... "EWWW!"

$12,000 is a bit steep for me though.
