How to make an Air Chair
Italian design manufacturer Magis was kind enough to let us film their injection molding process in Milan last month, using Jasper Morrison’s Air Chair as an example. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s a ballet to the way these machines move, and you can get hypnotized buy the sounds in there. Thanks to everyone at Magis and OMB for letting us invade their factory, and for the excellent pasta.
Speaking of balletic machines and the people who operate them, check out Eva Weber’s excellent short film City of Cranes if you can.

Good music = good design
What’s on Dieter Rams’ reel-to-reel tape player, you ask? Miles Davis, circa 1957, of course! In the late 1950s, jazz was hugely popular in the Frankfurt area, due in part to American Armed Forces radio broadcasts of US jazz groups in Germany. Dieter says that he and his friends were buying jazz records at the time, but their stereo systems were so bad that they weren’t getting to experience the full sound. So this actually pushed them to develop better stereo speakers and audio components at Braun.
