Project Wisconsin. 365 Towns. 365 Logos

Giving a little love to my home state designers here. Such a great project; so well done. I can't wait for Horicon and Beaver Dam, my childhood stomping grounds.

There is more to Wisconsin than our cheese, beer, and outright refusal to ever take the last fried cheese curd before making sure it's okay with everyone else at the table first.

In 2012, we are setting out to explore our roots and our creative sides, branding our beautiful state…a town a day for 365 days.

SALE: Hans Wegner "Presidential Debate" Round Dining Arm

$149 is an astonishing price for a Wegner chair. If you want one, hurry – that price is only available today.

In 1960, the TV company CBS bought twelve copies of the chair for the first live broadcast of an election debate; between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. It was Kennedy who requested this chair; he wanted a comfortable chair for his aching back. 70 million people watched the Wegner chair on live broadcast and it was even mentioned in the newspaper election reports the day after. A compact dining chair that can also be stacked. The lower back support and horizontal seat also make the chair suitable for working at a table or desk. The unique seat base, made from a solid American Walnut provides exceptional stability without crosspieces between the legs.
