Did anyone understand the reference in FOX TROT this morning?

Question

What is a "Tokujin Yoshioka chair"? Obviously it's something Japanese, probably made in Yoshioka. But what kind of chair is it? And why is it funny that the iFruit person would mention it? What's the joke?

Answer 1

Tokujin Yoshioka is a furniture designer that has a chair design called the "kiss-Me Goodbye" chair by Driade. It is a transparent or white polycarbonate easy chair.

Answer 2

I dont recognize the name, I just thought they were making fun of people who like furniture made by bizarre designers. Who really needs designer furniture?
