<p>New York has already capitulated to autumn but it&rsquo;s still sunny in South Florida. [Note to doubting Thomases: I&rsquo;m still happy to be calling NYC home!] I got to dish on that very topic for the <a href="http://bit.ly/dlRjm2" target="_blank">Home Infatuation blog</a> (the first of the two posts is live today) so I thought it fitting that Chair Chick comb the site for a yummy offering that would do a sunny outdoor space justice. Voila!&nbsp;</p>
<p>How would you like to spend a relaxing afternoon gently swinging in this baby? The <a href="http://bit.ly/9jrS4F" target="_blank">hammock</a> back has a comfortable contour and comes with a head pillow with a zippered outdoor acrylic cover that is resistant to any weather and fading from the sun. The hammock is constructed of a corrosion-resistant aluminum and weather-worthy resin wicker, which is extremely durable and resistant. Don&rsquo;t you just dig the deep chocolate brown?&nbsp;</p>
<p>If Home Infatuation had a beat, per se, it would be elements for distinctive outdoor living. Chair Chick says you have to check them out, but not before you put your boots on. Our hammock-happy video ought to get you in the mood for that kicking back this afternoon! Call it out hammock honky tonk!</p>

Chair Chick is back across the pond today to celebrate <a href="http://www.heatherwick.com/" target="_blank">Thomas Heatherwick's</a> nod as the recipient of the London Design Medal during the <a href="http://www.londondesignfestival.com/" target="_blank">London Design Festival</a>&nbsp;a few weeks ago. His whimsical <a href="http://www.arango-design.com/spun-chair-p/356.htm" target="_blank">"Spun"</a>&nbsp;chair hit the scene like gangbusters and has been picked up by any contemporary design shop that has chops the world over. I spotted it earlier this year at <a href="http://www.arango-design.com/" target="_blank">Arango</a> in Miami, which is no surprise given that the store's owner, Marianne Russell, has an eye for greatness! &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a huge honour and a great surprise to be given the London Design Medal," Heatherwick remarked. "London is the city I was born and brought up in; an endlessly exciting mish-mash of a place that inspires me and my team in the projects we do.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Festival Director, Ben Evans, said of the newest star on the design horizon:&nbsp;&ldquo;Thomas Heatherwick is a designer who defies definition whether he is working in in the fields of architecture, product design, sculpture and urban planning. He has developed a considerable reputation for his practice, creating a range of extraordinary objects and buildings; from rolling bridges to seaside cafes to spinning chairs. His stunning British Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo demonstrates to the world that British design is innovative, creative and good for business."</p>

<p>From spinning chairs to, well, spinning big hair: now that's a segue, no? We stayed with the Brits for today's entertainment. You can kick me the next time you see me for getting this tune stuck in your head for the rest of the day!</p>

Giles Miller</a> has been called the King of Cardboard and I simply can't resist featuring royalty when the chance arises! This fantastic <a href="http://modenus.com/catalog/c/furniture/t/seating-chair/m/9ac337d4a0a511df8a8727f83ee3eb99/p/6dbc4426a0ad11dfb2f827f83ee3eb99" target="_blank">Pool Rocker</a> by Giles comes to Chair Chick by way of <a href="http://www.modenus.com" target="_blank">Modenus</a>, a design-savvy site created by <a href="http://twitter.com/Modenus" target="_blank">Veronika Miller</a> (who happens to be no relation to the designer) and a talented gang of visionaries who bring the best of design to your finger clicks. "We&nbsp;first came across Giles Miller when we joined a crowd peering through the window of his shop strategically located between the East London Sunday markets in Brick Lane and Columbia Road," says Veronika. "Giles does cardboard. He does amazing things with cardboard. We've featured his cardboard grandfather clock, his cardboard handbag and the cardboard glasses for his Lego table, which admittedly is not made of cardboard. But what we really admire about Giles is the way he has taken the least glamorous of all materials and made it his own. And, when you see what he is now doing in making extraordinary wall panels from cardboard, he has also made it glamorous."</p>
<p>There's a beautiful mural by Giles in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/22/style/22iht-fstella.1.18826320.html" target="_blank">Stella McCartney's</a> flagship store in Paris' famed Palais Royal galleries, and he was commissioned to create pieces for the <a href="http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Visitors/TheLighthouse/" target="_blank">Lighthouse Gallery</a> in Glasgow. But, as Veronika is quick to point out, this is a chair blog, so what of his paper perches? "His Pool Rocking chair is everything you expect cardboard not to be. It is big, surprisingly comfortable and robust," she explains. "Okay, it is not the most elegant piece of furniture but it is fun. And most of all it is testament to Giles Miller's mastery of a material others overlooked." We'll definitely second that emotion: take it away Smokey!</p>

Sunday, October 10, is the last day to vote for products in Interior Design Magazine's Best of Year, or BoY, awards. Chair Chick found this ultra groovy chaise lounge called the "D-Lux" by <a href="http://www.royalbotania.com/" target="_blank">Royal Botania</a>. It combines ergonomics, geometry and comfort (and we promise despite its aerodynamic appearance, it will not mow the lawn!). The lounge was inspired by the female body with its concave and convex shapes that were fashioned from the cutting and forming of aluminum plates. There's a coordinating table made with an aluminum frame and a Corian top. You can vote for it <a href="http://boyawards.interiordesign.net/default.aspx?category=21" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>It's Friday and how about a little Steve Winwood to ease us all into the weekend?&nbsp;</p>

I came across <a href="http://www.helenamymurray.com/flash_content.html" target="_blank">Helen Amy Murray&rsquo;s</a> products in a remarkable stand, <a href="http://www.crafteduk.org/#/sites/default/files/BB9_0.png" target="_blank">Crafted UK</a>, at <a href="http://www.decorex.com" target="_blank">Decorex</a> while I was in London last week (Wow; was it just ten days ago? My how traveling and jet-lag morph timelines!) I featured her wallcovering on my <a href="http://bit.ly/cs0veY" target="_blank">International Design Examiner</a> page and I thought her chair was perfect for a nod because it has a textural beauty that makes it a nice addition to a contemporary room while the style of the chair means it would also jazz up a traditional or transitional interior. I greatly admire design elements that &ldquo;cross over&rdquo; in this way.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Murray is a participant in "Crafted," a mentoring program passionate about connecting the skills of those who have built successful businesses with those who have the potential to do so, thus her inclusion in the show. Every individual involved in this project has a fundamental belief in craftsmanship and an appreciation for objects beautifully made and it was obvious in the quality of the products in the booth. Crafted finds each participant the right mentor, offers a series of business workshops, connects them to a group of expert advisors, and creates dynamic platforms to help them promote and grow their businesses. Crafted has been developed by <a href="http://www.artsandbusiness.org.uk/" target="_blank">Arts &amp; Business</a> and <a href="http://www.thewalpole.co.uk/" target="_blank">Walpole</a>, and is supported by the <a href="http://home3.americanexpress.com/corp/csr.asp" target="_blank">American Express Foundation</a>. Congrats to all of you who are involved in this effort, as it will likely spawn many of our future great talents in the arena of design!</p>
<p>Since I'm jet-lagged and punchy, just having returned from Europe last night, I thought I'd leave you with a bit of London brash and dash with a bit of The Boss thrown in: happy end of the week everyone!</p>

New Yorkers are rumbling about the traffic and the disruptions with President Obama in town to speak to the General Assembly at the United Nations this week. Chair Chick has news of something that's working as it should, which we'd like to think will offset the gridlock that's likely going on a few miles away (but of course it won't)! It's the result of a collaboration between&nbsp;the architectural firm <a href="http://www.hlw.com/" target="_blank">HLW</a>, the German manufacturer <a href="http://www.kff.de" target="_blank">KFF</a>, and <a href="http://m2lcollection.com" target="_blank">M2L</a>, the triad teaming up to outfit&nbsp;the entire General Assembly Hall with custom seating. Each communications bench features a cluster of four KFF Unit chairs attached to a custom-made beam designed for Bosch technology, which allows representatives to easily plug in and hear the interpreter. What's also incredible is the quick turn around: it only took four weeks from drawing to mock-up. Wait: just four weeks from drawing to mock-up? Are we talking furniture here? It has taken longer than that for <a href="http://a.abcnews.com/Politics/International/moammar-gadhafi-rants-address/story?id=8651981" target="_blank">Muammar Gaddafi</a> to regale the group of global leaders with some of his speeches!<div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>

It was such a treat to meet <a href="http://www.snugfurniture.com" target="_blank">Snug Furniture</a> founders Alex Brandon Hendricks and <a href="http://twitter.com/maybellinete" target="_blank">Maybelline T&eacute;</a> at this year's <a href="http://www.icff.com" target="_blank">ICFF</a>. Their booth was a standout for the fun and flirty design sensibilities of the dynamic duo. The pair is continually inspired by the evolving character of current life, which they aim to express in a thoughtful language of materials and master craftsmanship. Their products are artful explorations in shapes and forms, which feel at once fresh and familiar. "Each artistic design reflects the essence of the Snug Life," says their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/snugfurniture?v=wall#!/snugfurniture?v=wall" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, "functional, beautiful, personal comfort that is truly at home now. Now a couple as well as business partners, Hendricks and T&eacute; grew up in the furniture business and met at a furniture showroom. They claim that if some people have each other at "hello," they had each other at mortise and tenon joints! With their combined manufacturing, retail, and design background, they have formed a diverse and dynamic design collective. Chair Chick spotted their&nbsp;Emulsion Lounge Chair in Desert Dune designed by <a href="http://www.debbiepalao.com/" target="_blank">Debbie Palao</a> and thought it would be a great way to liven up the last half of this week, which has New York buzzing with everything fashionable (yes, <a href="http://newyork.mbfashionweek.com/" target="_blank">New York Fashion Week</a> is kicking off, literally, as I am writing this). The uber-groovy chair, which sells for $2850, is made of&nbsp;sustainably grown mahogany wood and dyed abaca twine. When I saw it, I thought it would have been a great signature piece in "Laugh-In" giggly girl Goldie Hawn's living room so I couldn't resist a little clip of her shenanigans. Enjoy!</p>

One of <a href="http://www.royalbotania.com/" target="_blank">Royal Botania&rsquo;s</a> sexy seats for the outdoors has just come off its "Catch the Wave" tour, during which it landed at <a href="http://www.hamptonclassic.com/" target="_blank">The Hampton Classic</a> in Bridgehampton (where Danielle De Vita snapped this photo last week). It&rsquo;s more than simple seating, really, as the hammock-parasol made of stainless steel and perforated fabric, which blocks out 86 percent of the sun's rays and is semitransparent, is all-embracing like a sweeping swath of seclusion. The part chair/part sunshade/part swing sells for $23,439 without the base or the cushion.</p>

Chair chick is on the prowl again and she has unearthed one of her favorite profiles that's been given a bright new finish! First envisioned by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the shapely back and arms of this bench have become ubiquitous in the manicured English garden. <a href="http://www.gloster.com" target="_blank">Gloster</a> has created a queenly white version, called the Marlborough, for their new Estate collection. The resilient coating, which is achieved with multiple layers of marine-grade paint over kiln-dried mahogany timber, means the pieces in the collection are low-maintenance mainstays in the outdoors or beautifully finished icons indoors. Hard to believe Lutyens designed this stunning bench in the 1890's because it's as classically at home in our modern-day settings as it was in the dew-drenched all&eacute;es of his time.</p>

Okay, designophiles: we have big news! French designer Patrick Jouin&nbsp;(yes, he's a hottie, but he's also talented)&nbsp;is making his American museum debut this November at <a href="http://www.madmuseum.org" target="_blank">Museum of Arts and Design</a> (And you know who will be busting down the door to get in, right? Chair Chick at your service!). Jouin will be staging a multimedia installation at MAD that will examine the role of "gesture" in the making of a culinary dish. When I was in Paris this past February, I toured the phenom's exhibition at the at the <a href="http://www.centrepompidou.fr" target="_blank">Centre Pompidou</a> (see my favorite post about the trip on <a href="http://bit.ly/a5yjpU" target="_blank">Roaming By Design</a>). I'll admit, it was difficult to pay attention due to the hoard of college-aged girls crowding around us asking for his autograph, but we managed to hold our own with the trim, handsome designer who walked elegantly around the space, a motorcycle helmet slung casually over his forearm. His designs in the varied exhibit ranged from eating utensils to subway token booths. His creativity seems to know no bounds, which is why he never goes anywhere without a sketch pad. "I have two in the seat of my moto," he said as he kissed the air above both cheeks in parting! If you didn't get to visit the Pompidou, here's a great video that gives you a taste of his versatility and read my piece on my <a href="http://www.examiner.com/international-design-in-national/for-parisian-designer-patrick-jouin-the-devil-is-the-details" target="_blank">Examiner Page</a>. Above is <a href="http://www.artnet.com/artist/424323325/patrick-jouin.html" target="_blank">Solid C1</a>, one of the chairs that will be featured at MAD.</p>

Leave it to Philippe Starck to decide that Mr. Impossible wasn't, well, impossible enough! He's done a riff on his own design for <a href="http://www.kartell.it/" target="_blank">Kartell</a> and created Super Impossible, which takes its shiny self very seriously (though the genius behind the design rarely does)! I don't know why it always happens, but shown white, black and lipstick red side-by-side, I go straight for the glam! Eugeni Quillet accompanied Starck on this design ride, which resulted in the joining of two laser-welded polycarbonate shells to form this chic chair. It sells for $448 (that's all?).&nbsp;</p>
<p>To veer off subject for just a moment, I enjoyed an al fresco breakfast with Demetrio Apolloni, the general manager of Kartell, when he was in town for <a href="http://icff.com" target="_blank">ICFF</a>. He was excited that the storied company would be expanding its fashion accessories line in the future. "Why do people have to draw strong distinctions between design and fashion?" he queried. "There is a strong relationship between the two that Kartell has always embraced." Look for kicky new products to spring from this manufacturer's long list of collaborations with some of the world's iconic designers very soon!</p>

Hey furniture fanatics, <a href="http://m2lcollection.com/" target="_blank">M2L</a> has created a virtual showroom called <a href="http://www.michaelsloft.com/loft_II/index.html" target="_blank">Michael's Loft</a>&nbsp;where the company features designer furniture (floor samples, discontinued items and over-stocked pieces) at prices of up to 70% off. The site also extends an extra 15% discount to architects and designers who provide credentials. I spotted this Little Tulip barstool (one of Pierre Paulin's iconic pieces for <a href="http://www.artifort.com/" target="_blank">Artifort</a>) for $1,490 a pair. Now, if they only had the Womb Chair and Ottoman I'm dreaming I'll own someday, I'd be pointing and clicking like mad!</span>&nbsp;</p>

I grew up in the days before children had to be placed in car seats and I remember sitting in the back seat of a candy-apple red '40 Ford that my dad had refurbished, my ankles barely edging past the deep seats covered in roll-tucked waves of vinyl, listening to Tom Jones on the 8-track player as the hot summer air wafted through the open windows. I remember how much time and sweat-equity Dad had put into that car. It was his prized possession. I didn't have the heart to tell him the vinyl seats were hot and pinched when the material stuck to my sweaty legs! Still, the grandiosity of that automobile made a great impression on me. Case in point, I went on to have tri-colored purple shag carpeting in my bedroom as a teenager; a scrim of beads marked my doorway (my anti-adult curtain); and black-light posters glowed from the ceiling. What, you might ask, does this have to do with living small? During the past decade, as I've covered almost every aspect of the design world, a trend has emerged thanks to shops like <a href="http://www.geniusjones.com/product-exec/category_id/116/product_id/5234/nm/Baby_Hairy_Bertoia" target="_blank">Genius Jones</a>. High-quality, iconic furnishings for children are appearing in more showrooms as design-savvy parents teach their kids about the importance of good design early. Despite my edgy sensibilities as a teen, my design style did right itself as an adult, but I wonder whether I'd have a different take on decorating if I'd been exposed to high-end products as a child. I also wonder if the world would have felt friendlier with "pint-sized" furnishings to embrace my then small frame. I'd have fallen madly in love with the Hairy Bertoia chair (okay, so you can take the girl out of the shag bedroom but you can't take the shag out of the girl)!</p>

One of my favorite booths at this year's <a href="http://www.icff.com" target="_blank">ICFF</a> was <a href="http://www.studiodunn.com" target="_blank">Studio Dunn</a>, which received the Editors Choice Award for Best New Designer. The talented group of Rhode Island-based designers just released these Kingstown Barstools in their Rhode Island Collection. They are available in two heights, 30 inches and 24 inches, and come in three different finishes, Walnut, Cherry or Maple. One of the things I liked about this burgeoning company's philosophy is that the principles are dedicated to minimizing waste, and they reuse materials as often as possible. Great heart, great product and great style, I'd say!&nbsp;</p>

On October 21, the first Paris exhibition by Scottish artist Jim Lambie will open at <a href="http://www.patrickseguin.com/" target="_blank">Galerie Patrick Seguin</a>. Sadie Coles HQ will present the how of the resent works of the artist, which range from minimalist blocks of compressed metal to dog-eared aluminum sheets in myriad colors. His latest series is a collection of sculptures made from seven suits of armor that have been crushed into cubes a la scrapped automobiles. His work also incorporates assorted household objects (coffee tables, ladders and a filing cabinet among them). The piece shown is titled "Seat Belt." The exhibition will be on view through November 27. Here's a great video of the artist in his studio that was filmed by the <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/" target="_blank">Tate</a>:&nbsp;</p>

I happened upon this great furniture in <a href="http://www.abchome.com/" target="_blank">ABC Carpet &amp; Home</a> yesterday. It's craftily made of metal wire and has a three-dimensional quality that adds depth and texture to a space (which is easier to see from this shot of the back). The boxy frame makes the seat roomy and comfortable. Called The Workshop, the line is produced in India. The chair retails for $2,195, the loveseat for $3,695, and the sofa for $6,095. There's also a sofa table, which sells for $895. This is not your grandmother's chicken wire!</p>

Balthasar Portillo</a> crossed my radar at <a href="http://www.icff.com" target="_blank">ICFF</a> several years ago. His edgy style was a great contrast to many of the mild-mannered products being featured at the fair that year. He's just been selected as the Artist of the Month by the Museum of Art El Salvador for the month of August. His "Skeletoid" is included in a series titled "Remaining of a Civilization" that will be accompanied by an audio compilation of a chair being played as a musical instrument, which is meant to emulate the echo on an extinct civilization. Now that's deep, my friends! Check it out <a href="http://www.marte.org.sv/exhibiciones/artista-del-mes-.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

One of the terrific things about having written about design for nearly two decades is the archives I've built.

Nicolas is a French-born, Japan-based designer who has created everything from perfume bottles, on which he collaborated with <a href="http://www.isseymiyake.com/" target="_blank">Issey Miyake</a>, to high-concept installations for <a href="http://www.lexus.com" target="_blank">Lexus</a>. The Boomerang line is available through <a href="http://www.suiteny.com/products/product.php?nProductsID=693&amp;nCategoriesID=23" target="_blank">Suite NY</a>.</p>

</div>There's a new gallery in Washington, D.C., and the programming has gotten off to a terrific start with an inaugural exhibition by <a href="http://www.harushshlomo.com/">Shlomo Harush</a> titled "Round the Corner." Chair Chick asked the Jerusalem-born artist, who will be showing at <a href="http://www.industrygallerydc.com/">Industry Gallery</a> through March 6, about his inspiration: "For me, creative activity is not something I can force: it’s a necessity," he says. "When I did the car in 2006 it wasn’t because I wanted to make an aluminum car, per se, it’s because I wanted to make mobile sculpture. I also wanted to integrate that sculpture into real life by driving it on the road, which helped re-contextualize this ordinary form of transportation. I cannot name specific people or things that directly inspire me, but I can say things I encounter in my daily life informs what I create as an artist. I like to take very obvious and daily objects, such as the basic chair that has been around for thousands of years, and redefine them: this recreates their context and changes the way people experience and understand them.”<p />"Round the Corner" features 20 unique hand-crafted stainless steel and aluminum works that examine different sculptural aspects of conventional seating units. Harush has arranged the work in an urban tableau within the gallery's 4,300-square-foot industrial space. The exhibition includes "Rendez-vous," which is shown. It has me dreaming of my trip to Paris in a few weeks. I'll be searching for lots of amazing chairs while I'm there and will bring you the full report shortly after. Au revoir!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img class="posterous_download_image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2581814333106048291-1757883321167637326?l=chairchick.blogspot.com" height="1" alt="" width="1" /></div>
