I can't imagine working productively in the clutches of this shaggy horror. Now wonder the Furlicious Desk Chair is on sale at PBTeen ($259, was $299).

Held at the Houston Street Center on the Bowery in NYC, it is going to be an action-packed evening. I have a PowerPoint with plenty of images, I've made a list of a ton of tips, and of course there will be a Q & A portion. Hope I can spread the love of good design to all my new students. Wish me luck!

Since it's so lovely, I guess that gives them license to call it whatever they want!

Love the look and the price for so many places!
