Oops, due to my 24/7 care for our guests – see my significant other blog Happy Hotelier and my site Haagsche Suites – I forgot about it totally, despite she e-mailed me and announced it on her blog in advance:
Carolyne Taylor deemed this Blog worthy to be mentioned in the Weekend House and Home Magazine of the UK Financial Times. Thanks Carolyne!
Carolyne has her own Blog Pathchwork Harmony. Occasionally she features a chair, like in this post: Big Thank You and some Nice Chairs
Always nice when someone pats you on your back.

Rotterdam Chair by Hella Jongerius for Vitra
Date: 2008
Commissioned by: Vitra, Basel
Type: Industrial product
Vitra asked Hella Jongerius to design a ‘standard’ chair that is stackable.
Jongerius decided to use wood, a historical and archetypical material for a chair, which offers both a simple basis ánd character through it’s detailing.
The design-process was most of all an interesting exercise in producing an affordable chair which would carry the typical Jongerius’ handwriting. The result testifies of a clever marriage between a hands-on approach to design and industrial production-methods. Skillful refinement and high tech solutions. Because of the limits of price and production means, only the details that were essential for the character of the chair could stay. For instance the legs are left straight, bare, in order to give the object a sturdy and modern appearance. As a consequence of this choice there were some production challenges, like how to connect the legs to the seating, which curves above the construction. The seat itself is complimented with a plastic insert, a striking colorful detail that recurs underneath the legs. The chair has a timeless elegance and a modern sturdyness that suits its title: Rotterdam.
