Jean Nouvel shows some SKiN

Next week, the suddenly ubiquitous architect (hey, winning the Pritzker Prize will do that to ya) will unveil his latest project: a leather chair for Ferragamo. Dubbed SKiN, it consists of a lattice-stamped leather, um, "skin" suspended on a steel frame, and will be officially revealed on April 17 at the Salone del Mobile. All the "skin" talk has us a little queasy, but macabre or not, the chair is stunning. No word on price or availability.
