I’ll be visiting the blog The North Elevation more now that I’ve discovered it. The blog has similar views and likes as I have.

Airborne International was a French manufacturer that unfortunately doesn’t operate anymore, but that has made some chair style icons. Its design staff included the likes of Olivier Mourgue and Pierre Guariche. According to Design Addict Airborne was taken over by Arconas and the designer of the Storm Chairs is not known.

Now I still have to discover who designed the Storm Chair.
