€œEvery generation has had their take on the classic woven raffia chair. It's the epitome

€œArt deco is rearing its head once again, although I'm not too sure if it ever really went out of fashion. (At least it didn€™t for me.) I€™ve always gravitated toward strong geometric patterns, so I think that's why I€™ve have a soft spot for deco elements.€€“Kevin Mitchell, Mitchell Design House

The Big Screen

€œNow that laser cutting, CNC machines and 3D printing are more common, there are so many more options available for designers.€€“K.M.
