This decade is hard to define, perhaps because the interest for designing is rather cool. Traditional scace-memphis might be an apropriate description.

Ergonomical design pares way and the designers start adapting their products to the co-existence of the human- being and her tool. The colors are dominated by powerful down-to-earth range of colors. The materials are mixed but leather becomes frequent.

I have chosen to be inspired by the more traditional forms with Rud Thygesen, Johnny Sšrensen, Gijs Bakker and Achille Castiglioni, but must I personify the stool it would be like John Travolta in the movie "Saturday Night Fever.
