New group chairs from Herman Miler
This new range from Herman Miller look really cool. A nice twist on the amazingly gorgeous aluminium group series.
Each chair has an innovative kinematic spine bends and flexes to your every move – ensuring comfort.
Drool away…
Ergo?
I just stumbled across this odd little chair.
It’s called the Ergo Ergo and is designed by a chap called Alan Heller. Apparently it promotes good back health and also moonlights as an exercise ball!
Stairs!
So I’ve been paying a lot of attention to interiors and stairs recently.
Here are some of the fun pictures I’ve found of some interesting and cool takes for staircases – I figured you all might like to see them too.
How light and airy does this house look?
There’s something about this mezzanine floored pad that just make me want to live in a place like this.
Practically, keeping those rafters clean and spider and dust free would be a nightmare, but I think I could cope with it…

This is why upcycling rules!
What would you do with a whole bunch of these bad boys?
Throw them away or turn them into something cool?
Or do this…
Our readers are awesome!

Alphabety seating
Dezeen profiled these ultra cool alphabet seats or “ABChairs” as they’re called (all letters available it seems…) from designer Roeland Otten.
First one to make a rude word with them wins… hehe
Nice upholstery ideas
I really love the colours and unique ideas these guys have for doing their upholstery.
I wonder if any of you chairfags have had similar experiences of upholstery projects?

Modern dog’s house
This is silly, but kinda cool. For the ultra hip dog why not get him a modern home?
Are you a swinger?
Check out this cool indoor swing! Looks perfect if you don’t have a lot of floorspace in your house, but have extra seating requirements!
Just don’t sit on it when drunk or you may have an unfortunate fall!
SHOCKING PHOTO!!!
The metal insert from inside a Eames shock mount. I had one that was old, cracked and just need to go in the bin.
I chipped away the remains of the rubber and wire brushed the disc, then shot it with flat black paint for the photo
the threaded insert in the middle holds the screw, the outer holes allow the moulded rubber to envelope the disc and give it mass

Lawsuit filed over Eames Archives
From New York Times- Arts Beat:
By EVE M. KAHN
One of the largest private archives documenting the mid-20th-century furniture designers Charles and Ray Eames has been withdrawn from an auction scheduled for Thursday because of a lawsuit contesting ownership. The paperwork, which fills more than 100 binders, was to be the top lot at a sale at Wright auction house in Chicago, focused on furniture by the Eameses, known for their mass-produced contoured plywood and fiberglass chairs.
The files were consigned by John and Marilyn Neuhart, design historians in Southern California, who are in their 80s and who had collaborated with the Eameses on exhibitions and books. But on Monday Lucia Eames, the designers’ daughter, filed a lawsuit in an Illinois circuit court asserting that the family owns the material, which includes photos of Eames interiors and showrooms and scripts for corporate-financed movies.
The lot, with an inventory about 60 pages long, was estimated to bring $150,000 to $200,000.
Two weeks before the sale, Lucia Eames’s son Eames Demetrios wrote in an e-mail message that his grandparents had shared paperwork stacks with the Neuharts “with no intention that they become the Neuharts’ personal property.” But when asked March 31 if he would block the sale, he wrote, “It is our understanding that the auction is generally going forward” and he had “no further comment.”
On Tuesday, he referred questions to his lawyer, Andrew D. Manitsky, a partner at Gravel and Shea in Vermont. “We appreciate Wright’s cooperation,” Mr. Manitsky said. “It’s unfortunate that it came to this.”
Richard Wright, the auction house owner, said, “Trying to sell these items with a cloud over the title doesn’t make any sense.” He said he would still offer a four-foot-wide model that the Neuharts built of the Eames office in Venice, Calif. (estimated at $10,000 to $15,000), with tiny calendars posted on cubicle walls.
