It's great to see the subject of a Frame Magazine article in which I was so engrossed ("A Perfect Match" by Petra Schmidt, May/Jun 2009 Issue) hit the streets this month in the form of Muji's collaboration with design stars James Irvine & Konstantin Grcic and legendary German manufacturer Thonet.

James Irvine's reworking of the original Viennese Coffeehouse Chair No14 designed by Michael Thonet in 1858 is my personal favourite from the series (pictured above). A retail price of £215 may not put this piece of classic design into as many hands as we might have hoped for but the integrity of the whole collaboration, with it's focus on craft, quality and attention to detail, is a really encouraging move from a multi-national.
