I'm sure people on here have talked about it before, but this year's Ikea catalog has a bigger photo of their designer, Chris Martin. Page 109 of the US version. He looks a little like Chris, like his dweeby brother. He also needs to cut some holes in the underarms of his jacket. But that Ellan chair is pretty darn cool.

 

Link to Ikea US catalog(flash req'd)

 

link to the other furniture he has designed for Ikea.

 

Norwich City utility midfielder Chris Martin, and New Zealand's paceman, Chris Martin, will both be mightily disappointed that you've left them out of your thoughts.

And Q Radio's Chris martin :D

Can we post pictures of all these other Chris Martins?

maybe i'm crazy, but i think he looks nothing like chris. :P

And maybe I'M crazy, but that is one shit rocking chair.

:laugh3: I saw that a few months ago .. I was looking at that catalog when my eyes quickly spotted "Chris Martin" :lol:

Ooh I also remember in Zoboomafoo.. the 2 guys' names were Chris and Martin.. so zoboomafoo was always screaming "Chris! Martin!" and I used to get all giddy :lol:

i hate that chair :sick:

that chair looks so uncomfortable!

you've been to 4 of the coldplay shows I was at Hitcher!

^ really?!?! which ones?

Mountford Liverpool (front row where Guy was), MEN 02 and 03 (both front rows) and Reebok (both nights in the side stands)

^ i was standing at the front by guy aswell about 4 or 5 rows from the front :D that liverpool gig was amazing :D i had seats for the two manchester gigs in the tiers and at the reebok i was about half way back between the stage and the sound desk. you going to manchester in december or liverpool?

I remember I got in trouble from a mate I was supposed to meet the morning after the Liverpool gig, I was due to be in Manchester City Centre to watch England v Brazil on the big screen at 7am but I overslept because of the gig and woke up for the start of the 2nd half. 5 missed calls :lol:

^ i'm only going on the 11th, can't wait! :dance: might see you there :D

which bit are you in? I think we're in 113 that night

I'm not going :cry:

which bit are you in? I think we're in 113 that night

 

i'm up in the gods :cry: block 214 i think. my mate's got the tickets so i'm not too sure. We are no where near the stage that's all i can remember :laugh3: just made up to have a ticket tho i'd sit on the roof if i could still see them :laugh3:

Ian, are those rumours about a limited number standing tickets being released silently (as in no advertising) true?

didn't hear about that? rumour source?

Someone on bbc 6 music mentioned it last week.

 

The only way to make sure is to keep an eye out on the major ticket sites for any updates

The chair is cool, it's actually 6 pieces that is snapped together and made with some wood-plastic composite. His other furniture is stuff I like too, my kind of modern.

 

There's another picture of Chris in this pdf on the page 26, he looks different in this photo and not like our Chris at all.
