Lately for the chair quarter I've been inspired by Charles Eames.
When thinking about the chair project I've realized a couple of things. 1) It's not just the design that sells the idea, the material is incredibly important. Eames took bent plywood out of context and revolutionized the chair industry. Now a bent plywood chair is common, still cool, but common. He took fiberglass and molded chairs that fit comfortably. The material is extremely important.
The other thing I've realize is, learn from life. Leonardo da Vinci once said… "Through human genius in its various inventions with various instruments may answer the same end, it will never find an invention more beautiful or more simple or direct than nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking and nothing superfluous." Nature has perfected the system, don't try to beat it, learn from it.
