CCA CHAIR COLLECTION
In the fall of 2007, we teamed up with Wal-Mart.com to sponsor a "Sustainable Furniture" course at CCA (California College of the Arts), taught by Oblio Jenkins. The purpose of the class was twofold: to design environment-, space-, and cost-conscious furniture, and then assess how well the pieces would fare in the marketplace, with Wal-Mart.com lending its knowledge and expertise on the latter. Some of these imaginative designs were showcased in April 2008 at San Francisco's Zinc Details in the first-ever CCA Eco-Chair Design Competition, called "Musical Chairs." The designers also exhibited their work in the 2008 ICFF.
