Lets be honest, being an architect results in a whole lot of sitting. Whether we are sitting down with a client or sitting in front of the computer, the chairs we surround ourselves with are an important detail in the everyday routine of an architect. ArchDaily has created a list of a few favorite chairs we wouldn’t mind spending our life with. We feel it is important that every architect has a well designed chair that keeps the legs from falling asleep as well as some designer eye-candy for the office. There are many fantastic chairs in this world, so please, share with us your favorite! read more »

Our picks for this holiday
We, the architects, are a special breed. We have very particular tastes, dress in very particular ways and we even invented our own language.

So we decided to compile this special gift guide with things that we use, we like, and that we would love to find below our christmas tree.
Hope you like it! Feel free to share your gift ideas for architects on the comments below. read more »
