Just thought I'd put a post up regarding the progression of the Red Nose Chair my friend David Bruno and I designed and created for Comic Relief and Knoll furniture.
We managed to reupholster the Bertoia chair by asking people to donate a pound and for every pound that was donated a nose is added to the chair. As a result we reupholstered the whole chair thanks to work colleagues friends and the general public and raised £720.00 for Comic Relief which was an amazing result. Not only that we have approached Bonhams in Mayfair to auction the chair in there contemporary design and furniture auction in October to raise even more money for Comic Relief and they have said YES. A great result.
We have also been chatting to a famous knighted fashion designer who is wanting to back the project which is brilliant news but we are waiting to here from his marketing team with what this may involve. Keep you posted.
This project has been a success in many ways for both David and I. Not only has this been a great learning curve for both of us, we have managed to create a great piece of design, an event which will create press coverage for Comic Relief and Knoll Furniture and not to mention raise lots of money for Comic Relief. A success all round. I have a feeling this project will grow even more if we let it.
