"Drawing is taking a line for a walk." -Paul Klee

Cars, spaceships, captain's command chairs at the control panel, a host of references to fantasy boyhood worlds, and emotional triggers to the memories of games played. A wraparound shell, which conforms and protects, a place to relax, rest your head, cut yourself off from the outside world. Designed in 2002, Take a Line For a Walk lounger has kept its innate expressive power. 10 years on, it finds itself upholstered with a zip running the length of its profile, dividing the external from the internal. On the outside it is all precise, orderly geometry; inside, it is softness, bright colors and exuberantly feminine.
