Chairs

During class this week, I thought one of the coolest things we talked about were the designer chairs. I never really knew that some of those chairs were designed by people who weren't even in the chair making company. I think it's pretty admirable to design a piece of art that is well known throughout the world and for that to not even be their strong suit. That's like LeBron James beating Rafeal Nadal in a tennis match. More in particular about the chairs, I thought the wooden chairs were pretty interesting. I obviously knew wood was bendable because I've seen it in different pieces of furniture. I was a little confused though on how the process works though, so I asked Gabe. He said they steam the wood at a really high temperature and then put it in the mold they want and then let it dry in the mold. My shower in my dorm gets pretty hot, so next time I shower I think I'm going to put some wood in there and try to make my own designer chair.
