This
cache is called Design I because that's one of the first classes I
had to take when I was in school for ID. It served as an
introduction to the industry, and I learned a lot of history. In
the class we learned about a lot of famous industrial designers and
the products they designed, a lot of which are still around
today,which
brings me to the cache. I see all the time on TV,
billboards,online,
in offices all this furniture that was done by great designers,
some of it 80+ years ago, and no one really knows about it. I have
picked 4 pieces, a chair, a lounge chair, a sofa, and a table, that
i see constantly. Your job will be to
identify
them,and
find out some info on them to get the
coords to the final cache. The cache is
located at N42
AA.BBB
W071 CC.DDD
The
table- I see this table all the time in
commercials. Find out
the year this table was introduced, add those numbers, and subtract
that number from 45 to get AA.

The
chair- I see this chair all the time in waiting rooms and
offices. It was
designed for and debuted at an exposition in what
year? Add the numbers
of the year up and add them to 652 to get
BBB.

The
lounge chair- This chair has been in movies and TV shows all over
the place.
One of my favorite
chairs. It was
actually done in 1956 by a husband and wife design team who are
known for their use of bent laminate materials (plywood in the case
of this chair). Add the
number of letters in their first names together and subtract that
number from 14 to get
CC.
Image
The
sofa-
Although this sofa looks very modern, it was designed about
80 years ago. The
designer is more well known by his
pseudonym than his real
name. What year did he
adopt this pseudonym?
Add the numbers of the year together and add that number to 871 to
get DDD.

If you have any questions, are unsure about
something, or want to check cords, just shoot me an email. The
cache is small, BYOP, and there can be a large number of adult and
children muggles in the area. There is street parking all around. I
chose this location because i felt there should be a cache
there. Good luck, happy
caching.
*Update- first, congrats to doublewe for ftf, second, myself and
other cachers have discovered discrepancies in some of the dates
for the table. The date is not when it was designed, but when it
was debuted. Email me if you're unsure.*
