"Earth to Sky" Chair by Edwin Young. Ed says, "My idea for the chair was to create a whimsical feeling of moving from the ground to the sky. The legs of the chair, being the earth and ground moving up to the seat which is flowers and plant life, up to the back of the chair as the sky and clouds. I wanted it to be a fun chair to view and to sit in."
