Scott Burgess at The Daily Ablution has dug up a corker about the poor Independent newspaper.
This gorgeous Emiliano Godoy-designed knit chair is typical of the San-Fran store’s socially conscious philosophy; it’s fashioned from two key materials - Forestry Stewardship Council-certified oak and a ball of cotton rope - by the Pirwi people of Mexico, who receive regular visits from the store’s directors.
THE50BEST: Ethical buys byt Kate Thomas for The Independent
Leaving aside the cost of the chair - £3,268.69 - Scott’s been doing some anthropological research on the Pirwi people .
There is no indigenous group called the ‘Pirwi people’. But there is a Mexico City based design and manufacturing company
called Pirwi.
Still, it sounded nice to Indie readers, no doubt.
