Keep an eye out for design...



Sometimes the best design is found in the most unexpected places, and two Sundays ago this happened to me.  Hiding in the basement of an Idaho home, playing host to eight grown men, was this Charles & Rae Eames Lounge Chair.  

I have only studied this chair in classes, and have always appreciated it for its aesthetic value.  However, after getting the chance to sit in such a famous chair, I can now fully understand why this chair is so famous.  Not only does it look wise and classic, but also seems to be made for each sitter's individual body and transudes its qualities on the person enjoying a rest.
 
So, keep your eyes open for good design in random places...
