A little pamphlet that I must've collected from a design fair at sometime or another. I think I've kept hold of this one because I'm fascinated by chair design, and the fact that it never seems to end. As if humanity is still trying to perfect the chair and will one day stop when it achieves the ultimate chair. I'm impressed also that some classic designs like this one can be so celebrated and be popular for so long.
