DWR: Champagne Cork Chair Winners!
Have you heard about the "Champagne Chair" contest? DWR (Design Within Reach) recently had a contest that resulted in over 600 entries from around the world. The goal? To design a chair using a champagne cork. (I know what you're thinking; it sounds like one of those games you play when you're snowed in with friends and drank too much wine...) But, it's a serious contest with some amazing talent stepping up to the plate. Or is it, to the bottle?
You can read all the details on the DWR website, and view all the funky photos (they're very creative, some quite amusing!), but I have to give mad props to Adam Lesser from Cambridge MA, one of the 5 runner ups for his "Prosecco" chair. Pop the top Adam, it's time to celebrate!
