Hi all, freelance isn't paying the bills. I noticed a local small designer furniture shop is looking for a part time employee (fun!). It's listed that you need to know about "modern design".. Well I've got most of the basics covered there :P but furniture is my weaker point. Besides Herman Miller, who are some acclaimed (or your favorite) modern furniture designers / companies ? ( Yes I did use the Find button, but with no real luck.. Anyone ?)

you didn't use the find button otherwise you would have found Sofa King Cool, let me help you.

oh whoops. (and thanks jaline)
ok, that helps, anyone remember those designers, I think they were all women, based in the netherlands.. I think..
They had that light fixture that was made by motion tracking a fly around a lightbulb and then using that shape to create it ? I know somebody will know this.. I just lost all my bookmarks the other day.

Design WIthin Reach is blowing up pretty big.

get a design within reach catalog... it usually has a little blurb about who originally designed the furniture and you can bounce off from there

I think I know what you're talking about, but I can't remember the URL/company name. But I do remember a really nice site headed by women, probably from the Netherlands.
