Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
At the IMM 2011 Tecta booth I found an Asymetric Chair by Stefan Wewerka, a design from 1979.
And here Stefan Himself in his Asymmetric Chair. Photo thanks to Tecta.
I came across the Classroom Chair at a Phillips de Pury auction earlier.
Now NYC based J. Lohman Gallery has one for sale.
