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.

It’s the size that counts

It might be the smallest mailable size, but it packs a big punch. #4 Baronials, which we’ve celebrated before, are perfect as RSVP cards and thank you notes, but why limit them? The 3.625 × 5.125-in. envelope is sized just right to showcase a great stamp, like the new Pioneers of American Industrial Design (shown), while taking the opportunity to say a quick hello to someone — perfect for when you don’t have the time to write more than a few words.

The small, sleek envelope with its pointed flap is something people just can’t ignore in their inbox. You can order 10-packs of these Mohawk Superfine #4 Baronial envelopes and insert cards on Felt & Wire Supply. Mohawk converts, stocks and ships all of its own envelopes so everything you need is in one place. [KR]
