The sad news of Elizabeth Taylor passing away today caused me to search for a photo of her as Cleopatra on the throne in her famous and Oscar winning role as Cleopatra, but to no avail. Probably because that was long before digital photos existed. Found this photo on Flickr. Also a nice way of remembring her.
Time to share with you another chair by Hendrik Petrus Berlage: His 3 legged chair, or should I say his 3 legged stool?
London based Julian Mayor sent us some photos to share one of his latest limited edition chairs, the Fernando, of mirror polished stainless steel.
When I saw this Alpha Chair by Dustin Jessen at 2011 IMM Cologne somewhere lost in a corner of the Folkwang booth, I thought: “I know this chair and I know I’ve featured it already on Chair Blog quite some time ago”. So I took a fast and hence not so sharp photo (also because its back was dented a bit) and put the leaflet in my pocket….Back home it took some time to connect the dots…and here the dots are connected: Blu dot had created the Real Good Chair:
…Then you realize that your memory is not perfect. Blu Dot used another form and another way of creating the folding line. Moreover the Alpha is stackable. Sorry Dustin.
