Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
In August 2007 ABC News featured The New Mile-High Club: Forget the Hotel Room and described various new luxury airplane seats from various Airlines for their business class and first class passengers.
Via Design* Sponge Blog’s Hommage To Chairs I came across these Silk Screens of Will Holman.
About Wil Holman:
Will Holman is an artist and writer who just graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in architecture.
He is living in the high Sonoran desert in the middle of Arizona, working on an experimental architecture project (www.arcosanti.org). I weld and pour concrete by day, and work on silk screen prints and furniture by night. He hopes to have new prints on the regular starting in late January or early February ’08.

Via Blog Catalog I came across the Best Chairs Design Blog by Fahmi Mohammad, an Indonesian based architect and interior decorator with similar interests as Yours Truly. Enjoy!

About Louise Campbell
Louise Campbell was born in Copenhagen in 1970. She has a Danish father and an English mother. She grew up in both countries. After graduating from the London College of Furniture in 1992, she returned to Denmark and continued her studies in Industrial Design at Denmark’s Design School, graduating 1995. She set up her own studio in 1996, from where she has worked independently since. Focus is on furniture and lighting design, but the studio is increasingly involved in product design and interior design projects as well. The client list is long and varied, including companies such as Louis Poulsen, Zanotta, HAY, Royal Copenhagen, Holmegaard, Stelton, Muuto, Interstop and The Danish Ministry of Culture. Louise Campbell’s work is playful and experimental, and is increasingly gaining a reputation for gently twisting not only every day objects and situations, but also materials and manufacturing processes in new directions.
