Wow. The minute I saw this I just knew I had to share it, if it only because it's soooooo ugly! It just goes to show that not everything expensive is classy, right? Now of course there's a small chance that I'm way off base here and that the majority of people out there think this Harry Allen Banana Bowl is a beautiful work of art, so if that's you then don't mind me! If I ever see this in someone's home I'm totally just going to respect their edgy and gutsy taste in decor!

Made of resin and plated in gold, no worries if you love it but need a different color -- 2 other options (chrome and white) are available. $120-$350

I try to respect everyone's personal taste and expression, and I agree, if I saw this in someone's house, I'd try to see the good in it, but I just laughed when I saw it here. It's gaudy to say the least. Definitely not for me, but hey, maybe there's a kitchen just waiting for a gold plated banana bowl. You just never know.

someone like you, who only possesses a spoonfed sense of luxury and style, is simply unable to understand the oft-expressed tongue-n-cheek and irony seen in modernist pieces such as Harry Allen's Reality series.

stick to what you're good at, highlighting a laughable sense of "luxury" (case in point: the bedazzled victoria's secret bra and thong that is nothing more than a tacky, gauche, cheap yet true to form representation of a brand that is anything but luxe) and leave commentary on real luxury to those of use who get it.

you probably also think ted muehling porcelain figures are "ugly" - or maybe you've never heard of him?
