In one way or another I found Arren Williams‘ blog, and more in particular, his Fashionable Seat post. One huge disadvantage of Arren’s blog is, apart from page navigation, it doesn’t offer tags or categories or a searchable archive and on top of it the search function doesn’t operate very well. On the other hand, Arren does offer inspirational chair stuff from time to time . A little search resulted in a nice post of the 3Rings blog about Rick Owens, a Los Angeles fashion guy working in Paris who had designed some chairs for his own studio, which attracted attention from some furniture design aficionados. I also found other posts referring to Rick Owens on He Seems Nice.

Prototype Chair by Studio Hausen


In the Core77 gallery of Berlin Design Week 2010 I found this chair of Studio Hausen.

It always amazes me when designers exhibit, but don’t show their own work immediately on their own website….

or, as in this case, don’t tell you what why and how they designed what they designed..
