=== Discussion topics/potential questions ===

  * Draw a Barcelona Chair from your memory. What are the geometrics based on? 
  * Looking at the //Mashmallow Sofa// as a piece of //Pop Art furniture//; How would you design walls, ceiling and floors to underline the artistic character? Which colours and materials to use? What are related themes and iconic images? Which artists come to your mind?
  * Arne Jacobsen's chair model 3107 is based on Charles and Ray Eames developments on bending plywood in three dimensions. What are todays developments, you could apply to your chair/stool developments?
