Creative Clean Up

  • Posted by: Casey Caplowe
  • on January 4, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Are you’re sitting around on this last Sunday of our wonderfully long holiday season and looking for a diversion from the post-New Years clean up and pre-work mental prep you ought to be doing?

Well, Design Within Reach is now accepting entries for their annual Champagne Chair Contest. The challenge is to turn the remnants of your New Years drinking (cork, wire, and labels from up to two Champagne bottles) into a cool looking miniature chair. Entries, due on Friday, will be judged on “craftsmanship, creativity, character, and innovative use of materials.” Three winners get an indestructable (click the link to see) Morgans Chair (pictured below), and the top 50 will be included in a traveling in-store exhibition.

Good luck.
