[!this-chair-is-not-a-pipe.jpg](http://canadiandesignresource.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/this-chair-is-not-a-pipe.jpg) A nice reworking of one of the art world’s deepest moments, René Magritte’s surrealist [“Ceci n’est pas une pipe”](http://www.srleart.com/magritte.html) from 1928. The chair is flattering to the “The Treachery of Images” inspired movement but does the more important job of reminding us that design/art can carry significant intellectual value. Vintage ideas still have currency today, they just need to be kept alive, reinterpreted, and seen.
