Replica Wassily chair, found in the street, re-purposed - Henry Wilson
This week I visited the WORKSHOPPED exhibition and entered furniture heaven. The first chair shown here (above) would have to be my absolute favourite with its tentacle blue legs and tan leather seat. It is a replica Wassily chair that was found and re-purposed with terrific results.

Each year, WORKSHOPPED presents new Australian designs and it has become an opportunity for young designers to launch their products into the commercial market. Who knows, maybe we will be seeing more from these designers in the future?
If you are in Sydney, the exhibition runs until August 13 at 8 Hill Street, Surry Hills.
