Spun Chair — Episode 2: For the masses

Last week's Episode 1 introduced the high-end version of this piece designed by Thomas Heatherwick.

The protean British designer has been a favorite here for nearly six years, since I featured his now-iconic Folding Footbridge on October 29, 2004.

"First developed last year as a limited edition piece in brushed polished steel and copper, Spun turns from a sculptural seat into a kind of spinning top. The new, more democratic, version... comes in polyethylene, which is suitable for outdoors," wrote Nick Vinson in the June 5, 2010 Financial Times.

I took a look back and counted over 10 posts here featuring him or his work.
