Frank Gehry Wiggle Stool
One of my favorite pieces of furniture, the Wiggle Chair, also has a smaller stool to accompany it. These pieces have to be the ultimate expression of creativity. If there was ever an example of creating something extraordinary from ordinar...
Tokyo-Pop small stool / table
This piece comes from Tokujin Yoshioka’s Tokyo-Pop Collection (2002). Injection-molded polyethylene stool/table is suited both for indoor and outdoor use. Its lines were defined by the proportions of human body. A very useful piece of furni...
Panton chair
The Panton chair has won several design awards worldwide and graces numerous museum collections. It offers great seating comfort thanks to the cantilever base and it’s truly shaped to do justice to the human body. The Panton Chair has under...

Eames Management Chair
Yesterday at work it occurred to me that my chair was an old piece of crap… Granted, this wasn’t my regular workstation which is only somewhat more ergonomic, but since I was working there I’ll call it mine. Now armed with this knowle...

Another fabulous design classic from the 1930’s. The Hardoy Chair (also known as the Butterfly or BKR chair) was designed by Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy in 1938 and originally produced by Knoll. You’ll notice that the original doesn’t have folding...
