“What were they thinking?” – Wednesday

Straight Line Designs

I have seen this furniture during my travels on the web, but never understood the concept or from where they originated, until now.

While browsing the website’s gallery my 6-year-old boy came into the room. He saw the picture below, became intrigued and wanted to see more.

I began to see it through his eyes…

and it was really cool.

Then I wanted one…

for me.

“What were they thinking?” – Wednesday

Collaborating with Pols Potten, who produced the Hand-le, the designer had the idea and presented the project in London 2006 during the London Design Festival. It was really successful. The handle is made of aluminum and imitates a human hand perfectly, which can be scary for some, but amusing for others.

Shelley Gorman and SKG Designs received the Las Vegas Design Center – 2012 Design of the Year Award for their project ‘The Pavilion’ and it is a must see. Included in that project was one of my favorite chairs from Nathan Anthony Furniture – The Baci Chair. I’ve always loved the look of the chair, but yesterday at the factory I sat in it and… let me just say, Holy Moly! It was more comfortable than I would have every dreamed! It was incredibly yummy!
