when we were in italy, one of my most favourite moments was toward the end of our trip. we were in the italian rivierra, in an area called cinque terre. tim was napping, it was sunset time and happy hour on beach. a wonderful small place where we got coffees and drinks previously was serving free snacks on the bar (which i didn’t realize until i asked how much was it to try). i got a glass of prosecco, and they were so kind as to give me a small bowl of coconut. i have never thought coconut is tasty. apparently, that’s cause i never considered trying it.
i’m been jonesing for some fresh coconut since we came back. “strangely” enough its hard to find in canada, so i’m not sure when i’ll get this one sated. at least is pomegranate season…
this chair, called the coconut chair, brought the memory back. in case you’re curious, the chair costs an insane $3,700 or so. i think i’ll find my coconut faster than i’ll even get to see this one in real life.
Coconuts are the bomb. 3.7 grand on ONE chair?! Anyone who would spend so much on a single piece of furniture should buy him/herself a lobotomy instead!
Anyways, coconuts: I’m sure they can be found downtown in the market district thingies where they have all the shops. Close to U of T, where you had some Vietnamese food (i think?) and I overheard a few Argentineans having lunch. If you don’t find something as simple as a coconut there….
They’re found on most supermarkets aroud here…

Apparently, people also buy the $250 miniature version and get the design without the ass-resting feature.
A chair newbie like myself would expect to get the full-fledged model for these prices but how cool is that.
plus you can just fit so many on your floor …
Coconuts rock, indeed. although i never miss a chance to reminisce the heck about toronto, i’m afraid i can’t help you on the coconut supply spots.
