The best of Chair Blog Half August – Half September, 2012

Each and every time I start a post in our Top Chair Blog Posts series, the outcome is a surprise for me. This post is number 30 of the series.

The best 6 are again based on our Feedburner stats. In my previous post I mentioned I had installed the Jetpack WordPress plugin and anticipated that would be the last post based on the Feedburner stats. I was wrong clearly. It turns out we have a very closely knit group of (currently 1432) followers via Feedburner, who read our posts often, but only click through to the site every second (on average) time they open their feadreader. So I will continue to use these stats, because their attention would not be counted in other stats of clicks or page views.

Visits: 45,426 vs 39,444 in the corresponding prior period (+15.17%).
Pageviews: 114,178 vs 133,386 (-14.40%).

Although the number of pageviews went down, I see the line going up again slowly, but gradually, as there were a couple of peak days in the prior period, as for instance:
July 26: 9,896 pageviews.
August 9: 9,902 pageviews.
August 14: over 11,00 pageviews.
All peaks had to do with one or another high profile blog or site picking up one of our posts.

These peaks have leveled out now the last 30 days.

Have a look at our tumblrd category to see if there is news for you. Since September 1, 2012 I’ve added 60 more in prior periods.

Hope to see you back soon!

Introducing Katie Walker and her stunning Windsor Rocking Chair

Windsor Rocking Chair by Katie Walker

The Windsor Rocking Chair is created by a single continuous band of steam bent ash with solid seat supported by turned spindles. It was exhibited in Collect 2011 with Contemporary Applied Arts, appeared on the Wesley Barrell Craft award shortlist in 2011, and has won the Wood Awards Furniture also in 2011.

Katie Walker is a graduate of London’s Royal College of Art where she developed her approach of combining fine art and sculpture with practical furniture design, the results of which have now become highly collectable.

Katie Walker has a unique approach to the design of furniture, holding the belief that our quality of life will be enhanced by beauty in the everyday functional objects that we use. Inspired by an ongoing interest in the mathematical aspects of natural forms, her elegant designs are achieved by the harmonious combination of structure and function.

Guided by her belief that: “Timber is our primary natural renewable resouce and the most ecologically sound solution is to design with longevity in mind.”

Like Knoll says on its CYM pinboard: “Brace yourself” for the evergreens in modern hues.
