Happy 4th Of July! A Patriotic Promotion From DWR




To remind potential buyers of their holiday promotion (free shipping through July 4th) Design Within Reach e-mailed out this patriotic email to their customers and subscribers that features the American flag made up of modern chairs. This is the second year in a row they've created their 'modern' version of Old Glory.

This year, 2009, they used the Eames shell chair with Eiffel tower base, the Bubble Club outdoor chair and the Bantam Armchair to make up the flag:



The three chairs used in the above art are all available for purchase from DWR:

Last year's version (2008) featured the Panton chair in blue, the Arne Jacobsen Swan chair in red and the molded Eames Chair in white:



And once again, the chairs from the 2008 DWR flag are all available for purchase:

I just love them and thought they'd be the perfect way to wish you all a happy Fourth of July!

Design Within Reach's Clever Patriotic Email: Old Glory Fashioned From Modern Chairs



I just needed to share this cute e-mail blast from DWR. Yes, I have a thing for classically modern chairs and so when this American Flag fashioned from silhouettes of the iconic Arne Jacobsen Swan Chairs, Verner Panton Chairs and Eames eiffel tower shell chairs came in my mailbox from the folks at DWR (Design Within Reach) to wish me a Happy Fourth Of July, I was thrilled.

Hope you enjoy it too!
