My Chair! Finally! Alas...
After holding onto the page of the Requip magazine ad for years, searching in vain for this chair, I finally had the brainstorm to Google "Requip"+"chair". Imagine my surprise to discover it to be a one-of-a-kind concept chair fabricated solely for the ad campaign. My congratulations to the art-director/property-master for their good taste, and to GlaxoSmithKline for answering our questions. Now why hasn't a furniture company capitalized on the design and offered one for sale!? Seems to me like they're missing a great opportunity.
