  1. Derivative design is easy. Original design and I mean ORIGINAL DESIGN with no significant antecedents is unfathomable. [Had to take away your e-mail Kenneth]

  2. Julia,

    Mmm is not a design appraisal and vacant comments like, how simple and neat and pretty will never get you to significant critic status.

    The chair pictured above was derived from the ribbon chair of about 50 years ago. That chair was a great ‘ORIGINAL’ design.
