Dutch designer Marcel Wanders who is best known for his iconic “Knotted Chair,” presents his latest piece of work titled the “Mad Chair.” The harmonic structure has provocative suggestions, as the idea was to create a design without any material boundaries of great impact. This collaboration with Italian furniture makers Poliform, boasts a structure in flexible moulded polyurethane and legs in solid wood with spessart oak finishing. Furthermore, the piece incorporates a pre-covering in polyester padding and a stretch covered ring in fabric and leather. Head over to Poliform to find out more about its products and designs.

Inside the Set Designs of Mad Men

Nearly halfway through its seventh and final season, AMC’s critically-acclaimed series Mad Men has received award after award for its impeccable cast, writing, direction and overall performance. What really pushes a series about mid-century Madison Avenue advertisers to the forefront of TV land’s greatest dramas is its aesthetic, from the costume and set design to its historical accuracy and cultural relevancies. Granted a rare full access to tour Mad Men’s various sets by its creator Matthew Weiner, Interior Design sat down with Don Draper’s mastermind to discuss influences from his upbringing, the distinction between modernism on the two coasts, his team, cubicles and more.
