Now's your chance to be featured on Treehugger, Inhabitat, Western Interiors, and in a variety of other press outlest. The <a href="http://www.sustainablefurniturecouncil.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Sustainable Furniture Council</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.lasvegasmarket.com/index.shtml" target="_blank"><strong>World Market Center</strong></a> have combined forces to sponsor a design competition "<a href="http://www.onegoodchair.com" target="_blank"><strong>One Good Chair</strong></a>". Designers are invited to contribute their vision for a new kind of eco-chair, one that focuses first and foremost on form, that minimizes resources while maximizing comfort and enjoyment, that truly combines great design with ecology and ergonomics. Designs should demonstrate a new attitude toward an old problem. A cash prize of <strong>$4,500</strong> will be awarded to a designer or design team (of 2-5 designers). If all goes well, the award is intended to support the fabrication of a prototype of the winning design. Registration ends May 16, entries are due June 9 and the awards will take place Las Vegas Market, July 30.
