It’s been really hard for me to write this post, I’ve been doing some research and asking all my classmates wich is there favorite designer but I still can’t find mine.

I think it’s because I really don’t have a favorite industrial designer I have favorite designs, I’m not as interested in one designer to know everything about him or her, I’m more interested in the objects and pieces that those designers have done.

I love the concept of design, the different styles; I love to create and to admire what’s been created. There are a million designers out there that are worth a line or two in this post. Most of them don’t come from Chile; everybody knows that the masters of design come from Europe. It’s over there where is more developed, where is more important (maybe not more important but certainly more appreciated).

One of the few things that have got my attention it’s that all the firsts’ industrial designers ever were architects. And I think that that’s one of the mane reasons that architects think that they can do our job better than us.

So, according to what I already explain, I’m going to show you one of my favorite designer’s pieces.

This is a great chair made by Vernet Paton, it was design for a company (Vitra). The great thing about this chair is that it broke a lot of boundaries, it dare a new concept of fabrication, because it’s made in only one piece.

It’s material is plastic with glass fiber and the mane characteristic (besides been fabricated in one piece) is that it’s very light.

Always a great design it's the one that breaks the limit.
