The chair story was great!
The Thonet (toe-ney) story was great. 60,000,000 steamed, bent wood chairs, fabricated by hand since 1855 has to be the record for “Longest Production-Run Product” … not to mention quantity.
They didn’t spend near enough time on the ICON Sport Aircraft story. Steen Strand (former IDEO/Freebord (skateboards) is co-founder. Some familiar names; David Kelly, Steward Reed, and Troy Lee were project advisors on the development. The engineering group Leads were former Rutan’s Scaled Composites boffins. Impressive start up…
Osgood rules!
