Good design isn't just about beauty or form. Good design is also about making our lives a little easier, just a little more enjoyable. And if so, shouldn't we celebrate the functional as well as the beautiful. That's where Blu Dot comes in..

It's rare for a nearly transparent design to have such presence. But noted architect Ralph Rapson achieved exactly that with this lounge chair. A skillful union of mesh and either silver or satin black powder coating. Winner of the 2007 Blu Dot/Dwell Magazine competition.
