If you are into chairs and design like me, you will love to hear this not so new but still valid explanation by designer Philippe Starck why he collaborated with Emeco.
Emeco itself has another video, Citizen, where you can see him at work with Gregg Buchbinder, the current owner of Emeco. Note how Philippe pronounces Buchbinder :-)

I was wrong in my previous post: There are more nudevertisers for chairs. Only when I saw these pictures again, I realized I had seen them earlier.
At that earlier occasion I was not able to grab the photos efficiently and let it pass.
Now I have an efficient way of grabbing photos from all over the web, since I have installed a mini blog parallel to this blog: Chair Blog | Tumblr with widget and all and the possibility to read it in your News Reader.
So now I can keep you more up to date now. See for more background of a Tumblr account my other blog: Happy Hotelier – Tumblr and Organizing Your Blog(s).
About the chair
Why don’t they simply coin the chair Eros Swivel Chair? I believe they are afraid of reactions from rather puritan markets. But then: why advertise with, granted it is decent, nudity?
From this photo it is easy to see that this very modern chair goes well with a classic interior. i like it!
The Chair Designer is Philippe Starck, one of my favorites.
The Chair Manufacturer is Kartell
Some Chair Store(s): Ambiente Direct and Ultra Modern

Philippe Starck
Just a photo of Philippe Starck, famous designer and chair designer, a bit photo shopped, but as he is, a bit idiosyncratic….

In 1991 Philippe Starck designed a fantasy office environment for German film director Wim Wenders (look here for Wim Wenders’ official site). One element of this environment, the WW Stool, is now in production in small series by Vitra. The filigrain design is more a sculpture that it can be used as a stool. It may serve as support for users who prefer to stand rather than an item of furniture intended to be purely functional.
Material: varnished sand-cast aluminum.
