22 Design Studio was founded by Sean Yu and Yi-ting Cheng after graduating from the Industrial Design Department of National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan in 2005. They named the studio 22 for a simple reason—to keep the passion and ideals they had when they were 22 years old. The designers seek to discover different elements to touch people regardless of materials, structure, or cultural experiences. The studio focuses on applying design techniques to deliver this focus to the world.

For centuries, the Japanese have produced active, handcrafted charcoal commonly known as “White Charcoal”. This material has long been cherished for its unique ability to naturally purify materials by attracting, absorbing and encapsulating harmful substances to its surface. Sort of Coal is a pioneering Danish company that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship and this extraordinary material with functional Danish design.

Without Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), there would not have be the International Style we know today as the impetus for mid-century modernism. Born in Aachen, Germany, Mies (who was born Ludwig Mies and adopted his mother's maiden name, Rohe, in 1921) worked, in his early years, in the office of Peter Behrens, which employed Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Hans Meyer, and Peter Grossman at the same time as well. Inspired by the work of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Mies lay his first monumental foundations in the early 1920s with an office building and skyscraper in Berlin (though, of course, they could have been placed anywhere), both sheathed in glass. His 1929 Barcelona Pavilion--from which also comes the Barcelona chair produced by Knoll--became iconic of the International Style and its use of modern materials (like glass, steel, and, here, marble and travertine) meant for any and all locations. Like many German modernists, Mies immigrated to the United States during the Nazi reign and found his home in Chicago. In the U.S., he created American masterpieces like the S.R. Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Seagram Building in New York, and the Farnsworth House, just outside of Chicago. Though he passed away in 1969, his legend, like his influence, continues to live loudly.
