The Prince Chair has been accepted into
MoMA's permanent design collection

Hay cuts a dramatic profile, with a perforated rubber surface overlaying
a metal foundation. The abstracted floral pattern and the unusual finish
add a layer of mystery to this modern lounge chair. The MoMA has just
announced that both the black and white versions of the Prince Chair
have been added to their permanent collection.

out of life, the form falls out of the idea’. view
