When people decide to take a few months off work, most of the time it's to go travel (that's what I did). Not so for my awesome friend Sara Rowghani, who took three months off from Google to make this great-looking chair. How cool is that!

If you like it as much as I do, send her a tweet to encourage her to find a way to make more of them. (License the design to a furniture maker? Kickstarter? Wealthy patron?)
