“The architect Jacques Guillon’s cord chair is a near perfect balance of fragility and strength….Riding an interest in “low cost” furniture design, the chair was shown at the 1954 Milan Triennale… and was licensed to a company that, not coincidentally, manufactured wooden tennis rackets.”

This is the second annual t-shirt fundraiser that Modern Love supports. The sharp shirts has two big benefits, proceeds go to support cancer research, and less importantly, they look great and confirm your design savvy status. Click here to head to the Modern Love store. Support a great cause, and buy some for your modern design lover.

A masterpiece work from the self-trained designer. The flat legs and angled reaching arms are reminiscent of tree roots and branches, further emphasized by a spiralling arrangement of parts that animate the work. Minimalist in construction, the result is a piece that is both dynamic and refined.
