Who Designed Me?

The rooftop party invites are piling up. Soon you're going to have to learn the art of picking and choosing. Mr. Mannerz would hope that your host or hostess would have impeccable taste in furniture. IKEA is acceptable...until the nicks and scratches and bumps start coming. Mr. Mannerz is thinking more along the lines of Charles and Ray Eames, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. If you really want to impress your host and dispel the crackhead/street corner rumors surrounding you, act like you know what refined design is. Let's start with the most iconic chair in the history of design:





a. Ettore Jay: Bibendum chair

b. Eileen Gray: E 1020 chair and ottoman

c. Charles and Ray Eames: Lounge chair and ottoman

d. Marcel Breuer: Wassily chair and stool
