One Good Chair: Fit Right Here, Design Competition and Reception
Panel discussion moderated by Lance Hosey, architect and author. When people consider the Adirondack chair or Charleston's joggling bench, specific places like upstate New York or the Carolinas come to mind. Now, designers have the chance to create a chair that's expressive of their own favorite environment. This competition returns to challenge the creative and sustainable-minded to design a chair evocative of a geographical location using locally made, eco-friendly materials. Sponsored by WMC, Sustainable Furnishings Council, Living Green Pavilion, ecofabulous.com, Metropolis, Elite Leather Co., Mountain Woods and Patagonia. Building B, 16th Floor Worldview on Sixteen
