Apartment Therapy left out my link, so I thought I should post it- CatMerrick.com. In regard to Akay's comment, the plates are coated with a dinner-safe glaze after sandblasting, and then refired, so they are completely functional. Sorry if that wasn't clear, and thanks for taking a look! Apartment Therapy New York | Drip Plate by Cat Merrick Design Showcase 2009 |

I really think that people should keep in mind during this contest that these are independent designers without factories. Capellini is a comparatively large operation that can cut costs with economy of scale. If you hired a carpenter to make you a single chair, he might quote you a similar price. This isn't west elm, it's a hand crafted object. Also, saying that a chair by a more established designer has better resale value misses the point of this contest.

The most exciting thing about this is that it's actually innovative- rather than rehashing or slightly modifying another modern cliche, it expresses a unique idea. It is a playful and poetic comment on human behavior- the book left open on a bedside table- and even consumerism- why buy a lampshade when I have so many books? I saw Martin's work at an ICFF satelite show in New York this spring, and was extremely impressed. I expect big things from him.

Natasha, my mom had those chairs- at first I thought that they were Mies Van der Rohe because they were cantilevered, and he also made cane chairs, but after doing some research I found out that they were called the "Cesca" chairs, made by Marcel Breuer for Knoll. The table I'm not sure about... Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: Which Pendant for Over My Table? |
