Last week we vented our spleen on the ridiculous hotel prices in Milan during design week.
And against an international design industry that blindly accepts such as part of the annual fun.
We owe James Irvine an apology.
James Irvine is obviously a man of principle who is prepared to raise his voice against the Milan hotel industry.
And so thank you James Irvine!
Hopefully the rest of the furniture industry will follow your lead and in a couple of years we can all tweet #Bologna2012 or #Firenze2013
The complete (smow) interview with Thonet art director James Irvine will be available next week.
