I didn't wait too long, 111op.

Thanks. I don't know the answer to this one. Was thinking "Madeleine," but I can't get the rest to fit, and I've not had the time to try to do more research.

The first letter M is right, but that's definitely not it. Wrong country. (You used to try to predict what my clues might be about by jumping to conclusions about my interests. Remember?)

I think the candy is Italian -- I vaguely recall some thread about it here. I know that it wasn't Madeleine, but I was amused that there's actually a Romanesque church in Vezelay by that name that's actually famous. (Obviously there's the one in Paris.)

Right. I knew you could get it.

Clue: Many famous architects have designed a version of this object: 2 words (6, 6).

The second word looks like a word in English, so it's now accepted to refer to this object in English as a (6, 5) (as a bastardized form).

A famous American version of this object is an (5, 5). (The first word is a last name. The 3rd letter of the last name is "m".)

I feel like I should get a prize for being just a faithful player of this game. :-)

Hint: An exhibition in NYC is currently taking place on one famous American version of this object. It was designed by a husband-and-wife team. (5 letters in the last name, 3rd = "m")

eames?

Surely you are not being naughty!

It can't be -

Eames lounge (chair)

Yes.

Eames chair.

What about the other parts? Ok, lounge chair.

What the "original" is called?

You can take the next clue, starrsville.

Oh, geez. I didn't want to get it right. I don't know how to do the next clue.

I'll give it some thought and I'll post later tonight.

Anyone who wants to jump in with the next clue is more than welcome! :-)

chaise longue?

You want to take the next clue, yk?

I'll defer the honor to starrsville. :)

No, please! Go ahead yk!

J'attends.

Of course, it's nice that starrsville gives a clue. yk has given too many, but I know she is quick. :-)

Okay, here it goes (starrsville - you still owe us one :) )
