Sitting pretty with PLANEfurniture

[Alyson Kuhn] Michael Boyd, designer of the PLANEfurniture line, collects modernist furniture, art, architecture and design books, and ephemera. Last year, he decided to create a line of modernist-inspired furniture that “makes you think, holds your body, eases your mind, and sits well within your budget.” That’s a quote from the jacket flap of PLANEfurniture: types + prototypes, designed by Mick Hodgson of Ph.D, A Design Office. I recently sat in some of the furniture and can confirm that it is quite user-friendly.

As a graphic designer I am a huge fan of Mohawk Superfine, subtle to the touch, and kate spade is hands-down my favorite design inspiration.”

    Thank you for the absolutely fabulous prints! Though picked randomly, I am honored to have been chosen. Love the designs and can’t wait to hang them. Seriously thinking about repainting the studio to match.

    Have a lovely sunny weekend,
    Lisa, Step Brightly Creative Group
