			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s called Perspective. It was designed by Pharrell Williams in collaboration with Domeau &amp; Pérès. The chair represents the love between a woman and man.</div>

<p>Occasionally we suffer bouts of self importance that lead us to believe the designer should tailor their work to match our tastes and desires rather than their own.  Such is the case with this  chair.  Though not Dutch, not particularly clever and not quite beautiful, we were moved by the perspective.  But for all the innuendo of this design, we are mostly left cold.  We suspect we could be far more likely seduced by a chair that exudes warmth and passion in its craftsmanship; something that gives us the sense that the designer&#8217;s own hands touched it, assembled it and carved his vision to life.  This chair makes us want for the warmth of wood, the seduction of black, the strength of an epoxy finish, the passion of manual labor.  We wish to commission a re-make.</p>
