Champagne Chair Contest uncorks design

So if you’ve never ever heard of the furniture company Design Within Reach, here is a quick primer: clean, simple reproductions of mid-century modern classics that have been authorized by the original license holders including Herman Miller, Knoll, Cassina, Fritz Hansen, Stua, Vitra, Kartell, Emeco, Artek, Objekto, Flos and Cherner Chair Company. And each year this company holds a Champagne Chair Contest for folks to use their right brain and create an original miniature chair using only the foil, label, cage and cork from no more than two Champagne bottles. A cool new twist is that this year in an effort to eliminate waste they are doing digital submissions … bravo!

All entries must be received, via e-mail, by 5 p.m. on Jan. 7. So if you’re looking for something to do with the trash left over from the New Years party you’re planning, look no further. Click here for further details and good luck! Stay tuned to the blog to see the Lounge Lizards entry which we will post in early ‘08.

'Hamlet 2' [movies]

Plenty of laughs are in store in the comedy smash of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Steve Coogan plays high-school drama coach Dana Marschz. While trying to stage a lighthearted sequel to Shakespeare's famous tragedy he faces laughable hardships including a bender that leaves him lurching into a liquor store on roller skates in search of the cheapest booze. His flock of students includes one mute girl who's the object of as many random assaults as Kenny from "South Park." And the stage production at the movie's climax includes a song called "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus." More »
