His most iconic chair is the the Risom Lounge Chair, which is still in production by Knoll Studio.

Desgin Within Reach has caught up with him last week, and filmed this short documentary of the wit and wisdom of the modern master, as he speaks about history, parachute straps, and, of course, chairs!

Our Pulse Apartments project finally gets to see a glimpse of light this week, when some of the scaffolds have been taken down from Building A on Inkerman Street in St. Kilda.

The project is expected to be finished in late July, for more detail check out our project page here.

We are delighted the uber eco editorial team at EcoFriend has chosen to feature our Linear Hosue project on their website, we are humbled.
