Fortune smiled on me recently. I was on the hunt to upgrade my task chair and I happened upon a used Herman Miller Aeron chair for around $300 on Craigslist. Since Herman Miller dealers provide new replacement parts, I set out to refurbish the old Aeron chair to nearly new condition.

No man is an island, or so said John Donne. But if the photo above is any indication, designer Werner Aissllinger might diagree. Meet Bikini Island, his collection of furniture for Italian brand Moroso, which debuted in Milan this past month.
