The Bauhaus - Marianne Brandt - Brandt produced a Tea Pot at the Bauhaus in 1924, which caught my attention. The Tea pot has a very modern look about it, especially considering it was produced in the 20s.I like how the teapot doesn't look like what it is, with the straight top and style of it, the teapot looks almost like it wouldnt be able to be used for its purpose. "The Marianne Brandt tea pot is the part of the set, which most strictly follows the formal principles of the Bauhaus school. Circle, globe and square are the basic forms of the construction."

The Bauhaus - Wilhelm Wagenfeld - Wgenfeld is known for producing his hand-made lamp which is often referred to as "The Bauhaus Lamp". Personally, i dont really like the lamp. I think, although simplicity is often good, that the lamp hasnt got a sort of edge that most products from the Bauhaus seem to have.
Ross Lovegrove - Lovegrove produced the 'Bone Chair' in 1994. I like the look of this as i think it is really interesting and very much out of the norm, with the colour and the shape of the structure both being 'bone-like', it suites its name well. However, the chair does look like it would be very uncomfortable to sit on and so probably doesnt appeal to a wide audience.

I found Klenell's blog when researching recent designers. I really love this chair, although I'm not keen on the colour. I think the shape and the idea of the chair is really interesting and it works really well, and i think it looks quite comfortable too, which is obviously and important factor.
