Charles and Ray were artists working together. Charles was an Architect and Ray was a painter. They liked to transform things and make something new. They wanted to design a chair that looked like it was born to be a chair. They worked and worked. Finally they had a usable, comfortable chair.

It was interesting to see the processes they went through and how many they made before they came up with the right one. Loved this story, with great illustrations. It shows you to never give up on a good idea until you get it just right.
