In Association With Material Matters:

The Eames did it, Mies did it, even architecturally-educated fleas did it. Let's do it, let's design a chair. Why do architects think they can dip their toes into furniture design? And, perhaps more interestingly, why do product designers think they can have a pop at architecture? We all agree that interdisciplinary crossovers are interesting, but surely professionals train for years for a particular purpose. Lets explore why designers fancy stepping on each others' toes and what happens when they join forces.
