Because Ferdinand (Butzi) Porsche passed away recently, I would like to share one of his few chair designs in white with you: The IP 84 S, which clearly seems inspired by the Porsche 911 to me.

Occupy Chair by Dejane Kabiljo – Milan 2012
Red Occupy Chair by Dejane Kabiljo – Milan 2012
Vienna, Austria, based design studio Dejane Kabiljo presented the Occupy Chair in Milan last week. Life influences designers and Kabiljo stated:
Like it or not, Occupy has a strong impact worldwide. The movement has been chosen Time Magazine person of the year. Occupy defines issues of our time, questioning our aesthetic and political demands on design. […]
We still do a lot of sitting. In order to achieve the goals we are striving for, we need to do quite some sitting together.
It bears resemblance to Frank Winubst’s Springtime Chair

Sarajevo’s Empty Chairs
Sarajevo’s Empty Chairs
The empty chair is a great way to commemorate a passed person.
Recently Sarajevo placed an amazing 11,541 red chairs throughout the city in remembrance of all the people who got killed in their civil war 20 years ago.

Tedd Lott’s Sculptural Practice
Tedd Lott.
Sculptural practices are at once defined and restrained by their connections to tradition. When viewing woodworking in the context of objects made with wood; housing, particularly stick frame construction, emerges as possibly the most widespread use of the material throughout the modern world. Utilizing these techniques in a studio based practice, it is my hope to further the conversation on how notions of production fit into the world of contemporary art.
