Idea: Piggy Banks

A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.

Eero Saarinen's Womb chair

I was surveying an apartment for work a few days ago. Our client inherited the apartment from her grandfather and there was some seriously great furniture in the apartment!

My favorite piece, in a beautiful, light blue:



Eero Saarinen's Womb chair, designed in 1948 exclusively for Knoll. The base is made of polished chrome and the chair is a fiberglass shell with fabric upholstering. I covet.

Design Classics 1



The Eames Eiffel Side Chair, and its variants, is my favorite chair of all time. But the armless side chair is my favorite of the different shell types. The simple curved lines of the shell combine with the geometric eiffel base to compliment each other quite well.

The Eiffel Side Chair is available (as a reproduction) from Design Within Reach for a mere $199 each.
