When the folks at Maharam did an event with me at the showroom this year I fell in love with a fabric panel designed by Hella Jongerius. Jongerius, a prolific Dutch designer, has created some of my favorite textiles, the glorious Polder sofa, way-too-affordable vases for Ikea, and the Long Neck and Groove Bottles I wish I could afford. I needed to do something with the panel, so Ben found an old Danish chair on craigslist, and I took it to Sol at Prestige Furniture in Queen and designed how the panel would be cut. The resulting chair is the perfect addition to our playful apartment. Photos of the chair, and pillows made, here.
