I spent ages trying to work out what chair this was. It LOOKS kind of like the Swan Chair by Arne Jacobsen, but I don't think it is... the legs are all wrong and I think the seat is shaped differently. Any designer-types out there have some insight here?

There are a bunch of these in the lobby of the Biomedical Science Research Building in Ann Arbor, if that helps.

edit: It's the Orange Slice Chair, designed by Pierre Paulin in 1960.

via Instagram ift.tt/1Ocu0hx — In our acts of making we are also unmakers. To make books we fell trees. To make an omelette break eggs. To power our cities and homes we level mountains. Each act of creation is also an act of destruction. Is this just entropy playing its role — that there is just only so much matter and energy? Or is there something special about how humans unmake the world around them in the process of societal “progress?” Does sustainable design honestly acknowledge this make/unmake duality? Does sustainability require minimizing the described unmaking? Can newer and more plentiful objects exist without unmaking everything around us? #sustainabilitist #sustainability #designquestions #designerasphilosopher
