We've Seen the Future of Chairs - and They're at Atelier

Giacomo Relax Chair
We're in the process of taping all new interviews and showroom tours for our revised interior design course DVDs, and we're amazed by the beautiful products available to designers. One of our showroom visits last week was to Atelier in the New York Design Center at 200 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
Ghost Chair
Atelier is a well-curated showroom containing a cross-section of the top contemporary furniture lines that they rep, and they feature beautiful vignettes with killer seating, lighting, storage, rugs, and flooring. Visit the Atelier website for more information, and in the meantime, enjoy some of the great contemporary chairs they carry.

    Interior Design Video - Brian Kane, Furniture Designer

    As a school, Sheffield reaches creative people who want to become more professional about their creativity - as a better hobbyist or as a serious professional. I was really drawn to today's video because it does such a thorough job of documenting a creative professional's design process. San Francisco furniture designer Brian Kane takes us from initial sketches to full-scale renderings to computer drawings and on to prototypes. The process is hypnotic, as he takes some ideas for a chair through to a finished product; and we see other examples of his popular work.
