The Brazilian design studio of Super Limão has a nifty website, but since it's in Portugese, I can't decipher any information for you. I think these cardboard chairs are quite striking though, with their simplistic forms. "Havia uma caderia azul no meio do caminho. No meio do caminho, ainda bern, para descansar minhas canelas." I found that quotation on the Super Limão website, but it translates into a nonsensical sentence on Translator.com. Anyone speak Portugese? See Chair #205 on July 24 of this blog for another cool Super Limão Studio carton chair.
This blog showcases the 365 chairs that Diane painted thorughout 2009. Some chairs are traditional, most are quite unusual, and they all have a story behind them. Have a seat in your own favorite chair and enjoy. The sketches are painted on Winsor & Newton Cotman 140 lb. cold pressed 4 x 6" watercolor sheets, using Winsor & Newton French Ultramarine blue.

"I’m a recent but already huge fan of Diane Carnevale’s Chair du Jour blog. Every day she posts an elegant and accurate blue and white watercolor of a different chair — famous icons and wacky one-offs, both. Better yet, she’s well educated in the world of chair design, and includes a history of each chair, plus her own always-witty personal commentary."
