If you're a fan or crafter of contemporary furniture, you'll appreciate the design inspiration of Thayer Coggin's new Claes chair designed by Clark Coggin. It was showcased during the October 2009 show of the International Home Furnishings market in High Point, North Carolina.
Per Coggin, the influence for this design was pop artist Claes Oldenburg sculptures of colossal buttons, gigantic clothes pins and over-sized typewriter erasers which monumentalized objects of the artist's time. When you've hit the wall and can't come up with a design you like, follow Coggin's lead. Do some research about favorite iconic designers and look around you for inspiration.
FYI - If you're a Nip Tuck fan, another Thayer Coggin chair - the Classic Lounge Chair was featured in episode 21 - the one with the freaky doctor who took a shine to Christian Troy's office furniture.
