Dinner for Architects: A Collection of Napkin Sketches



architects were invited to an imaginary dinner in honor of the opening of the Architecture Museum of the Technical University of Munich, where they would sketch their personal greetings and congratulations on a paper napkin. plus - quotes from one of my favs - Mies van der Rohe! [barcelona chair, brno chair, glass house...]





found when looking for a picture of a Knoll Reuter Overhead [above] for a client.
looks like it could be a great townhouse-warming present...for...someone...to...get...someone else...

[EDIT: the BOOK is a good present, not the $3,000 chairs... well, they'd be a good prezzie, but totes unrealist...]
brno & barcelona chairs from knoll.com
