Here’s a little new year design pastime: Use the cork, foil, cage and label from no more than two (2) Champagne bottles (use of glass not permitted) to design a Champagne Chair for the Annual DWR (Design Within Reach) Champagne Chair Competition. Don’t laugh - the prizes aren’t shabby: One Grand Prize winner will receive a $1,500 DWR merchandise certificate and be featured on DWR’s homepage.
Strict rules: You are not permitted to use any additional materials—including tape and/or paint. The chair must measure no more than 4″ x 4″ x 4″ in height and be shipped in a box measuring no larger than 12″ x 12″ x 12″. Submissions must arrive at the DWR office no later than Monday, 15 January 2007 at 5pm, PT, so hurry! Oh - and you must name your chair. Visit the site for details.
