D&AD, an educational charity that supports creative industries in the U.K., recently bestowed its student awards on several young designers, including Charlotte Kingsnorth, whose One sofa won the prize for furniture design. Inspired by the fleshy nudes of the English painter Jenny Saville, the chair's austere frame supports an overstuffed upholstered cushion. Think of it as plus-size furniture with a conscience: Kingsnorth says she means it as a comment on the media's coverage of obesity. Hear that, IKEA? Fat furniture needs love, too.
