Jules Seltzer Associates, in combination with the Vitra Design Museum, does a whole line of miniaturized classic furniture. Measuring about 5 inches high on average, and costing you in the neighborhood of $350, it’s a lot of art and design for not as much money and zero practical use. However, they’re great for looking at, and art and design students can use them to study and learn. And, you know, they’re pretty cool.

All of these products are made with the same materials and the same proportions and craftsmanship as the originals. They’re a neat and kind-of-sort-of cheaper way to get closer to some of your favorite industrial designs, chairs, and designers.

Smart Designer: Smarts Only

The techno-wizards over at Smart Furniture in Chattanooga, TN, have done it again, bring their previously noted Smart Designer online tool to chairs like the world-famous, world-class, world-traveled, world-weary Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, seen here:

At Smart Furniture, customization is king, and you can choose between a wide range of wood and leather to get the right chair for you. Use their online Smart Designer to order a chair that looks like this (black leather, natural cherry finish):

Or this (ivory leather, natural cherry finish):

Or maybe this (indigo leather, natural cherry finish – look, I like natural cherry, aight?):

Or my personal favorite, and what you may buy me for Christmas, this (canyon leather, cherry):

The Eames Lounge Chair isn’t the only chair or product you can customize at Smart Furniture; that list grows by the day. But some of the highlights are the Embody Chair and the Aeron Chair, both by Herman Miller.

Till next time.

There’s a pretty nifty design contest going on at Chattanooga furniture store Smart Furniture. They have this tool called Smart Designer which allows users to design their own living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, dungeons, terrifying attic spaces, and anything else you want to try your hand at. It’s exactly like playing with a virtual dollhouse, and the childish god complex comes free!

The best part is that every week, they choose the best design and give the winner an Aeron Chair. At the end of five weeks, Smart Furniture gives the winner a 2,500 gift card to help them actually build the room. Everything you see in the Smart Designer can actually be bought at the store, so synergy, yay.

I took a few screen shots for rooms I built. Check ‘em out:

Why yes, that is an Eames Desk, Noguchi Coffee Table, and Goetz Sofa in my bedroom.
