Hasta La Ideas

The bubbly furniture fans at Design Within Reach have selected the winners in their champagne chair contest, which last month challenged all comers to create an original miniature chair using only the foil, label, cage, and cork from no more than two champagne bottles (glue was the only permitted adhesive). Taking top honors is the “Rockin’ Chaise” (pictured at far left) designed by one Miwa F., who went meta by including a wee champagne holder. Runner-up Jeffery Molter took a systematic approach with a chair that folds up into its own carrying case. And third place goes to Aaron Padilla’s foil basketweave “F8 Chaise,” with a sculpted cork underseat.
