a chair for the bubbly

we had some friends over the other night for a birthday party and i decided to use the get together as an excuse to pop open a bottle of champagne that's been sitting in our refrigerator for the last 6 months. as we sat around the table talk turned to that great contest dwr hosted a couple of years back where they invited folks to create chair models using only the materials found on a champagne cork. you can see some of the examples here.
without noticing, my friend jess, who happens to be a furniture designer began fashioning his own postdated entry. the result can be seen above. i think it is a very elegant and regal design, and i like the accompanying cork side table. in fact the more i look at it the more it draws me into this little scene, and invites me to sit down with a very small glass of champagne. you may find me holding court here soon :^)
