One Good Chair contest deadline is May 30
Staff -- Furniture Today, May 18, 2009
Las Vegas — An international competition to create an iconic "eco-chair" is being sponsored by the World Market Center, Las Vegas Market's Living Green Pavilion and the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
Models for the competition, part of the market's second One Good Chair event, will be displayed at the next Las Vegas Market, Sept. 14–17.
Jury chairperson and competition organizer Lance Hosey is an architect and author of "The Shape of Green: Aesthetics, Ecology and Design." Cash prizes will be awarded at a reception sponsored by the World Market Center during market week.
Registration is now open and closes May 30. Information and forms are available online at www.onegoodchair.com, www.lasvegasmarket.com or www.sustainablefurnishings.org.
The theme of this year's competition is "Fit Right Here," which emphasizes the connection between a person fitting comfortably in a chair as well as the chair fitting appropriately in its environment and ecosystem. The goal of the competition, which is open to anyone, is to solicit designs that embody and enhance a particular place, Hosey said.
