Where do I get my inspiration for a post? It differs. For this post I looked up a Twitteraccount Haworth and found their site and one of their manufacturers.

Brunner :: is a German manufacturer of objectfurniture from Baden, Germany.

1977: Making the impossible possible.

In a second-hand VW Bulli van, Rolf and Helena Brunner set out to complete an order for a customer that their former employers had declared “impossible”. At the same time, they decided to found their own company. Today, more than 40 years later, the principle remains the same: our next innovation could be anything – just not impossible.

I love their A-Chair by Jehs and Laub

Cowhide covered Chair by Eames

Very trendy end 50ies. Cowhide on your chair or couch. This one I found while drafting a new post for one of my other blogs with similar passion as I have for chairs: Small hotels. This chair can be found in a trendy Belgian B&B Spoor 62.

Harush’s main focus in recent years has been the metamorphosis of forms and materials, achieving intriguing interrelations between art and industry while constantly challenging boundaries.
