Sit on it, if you can afford the hefty price $78,000 price tag for the Boudeuse couch by fashion, now furniture, designer Rick Owens. Owens recently launched a new modern furniture collection for Maxfield in Los Angeles. Mr. Owens tells the New York Times,“Making furniture is my version of couture: it’s time-consuming artisanal work made in limited quantities in rare materials, customized for my favorite client, my better half, the Hun,” referring to his wife, Michele Lamy. Owens’ clothing is also available at Maxfield on Melrose. So let’s see, if you sat on the couch once per day at the $78,000 price tag, each time your tush touched the seat it would cost you $213.69.
