A design blog from the creative capital of the world
A chair is at least an investment, generating sales and jobs. Compare it with a parliamentary question from a backbench Tory MP. This involve clerking in the House of Commons, staff time in the department to which it is addressed, then all the time spent in finding and delivering an answer. We're talking several hours of bureaucratic time, at an opportunity cost of possibly several hundred pounds. What does the nation need more: well-designed chairs or tendentious stirring by under-employed parliamentarians?
Agreed. Well said.
Your readers might be interested to know that I had introduced a similar stool in June 2008, prior to the introduction of the AP stool.

I love the textile field, especially after walking and standing 4 hours in the V&A. I'd love to see it stay, and possibly with a few more vibrant colours added to the palette. Mian
I went to John Pawson's exhibition at Design museum last year.
His sophisticated works were very impressive and inspiring.
I am looking forward to seeing this installation very much.
I like it very much!
It is much easier to find an exact place and information.
I will surely use this calendar for LDF this year!
It collaborated very well with installantion of Ron Arad called curtain call at Roundhouse.
I love this calendar - it's really comprehensive and completely relevant. It's the first place I go when looking for something to do at the weekend. Thanks LDF!
