Rounding the halfway point

Update #3 · Nov 7, 2012 · comment

Dear Backers,

We are rounding the halfway point for the campaign! Once again, thank you all for backing the Re-Ply. And thank you to all of you who had ideas regarding stretch goals. I appreciate your feedback. The margins on this project are slim, but I'll do what I can.

In response to your requests, I have added information regarding adding covers to your pledge in the FAQ. It is priced as not to punish those that skipped the early bird specials and pledged for covered versions early. You can add a cover for the fur ($70) or the felt ($110). If it is your second cover you get a $10 discount. Simply add this amount to your existing pledge.

Stretch Goals:
If the project breaks $20,000 we can "unlock" a 3rd frame color.

If the project breaks $20,000 and if you order 3 or more chairs, I will add a free T-shirt to your shipment.

If the project breaks $20,000 and if you order 2 or more covered chairs, I will add a free T-shirt to your shipment.

The idea is to get your friends and colleagues involved - get together and order more than one chair for your homes or offices. We haven't broke $20,000 yet, but with your help I'll bet we can!

In the news:
Some of you may have read the recent article in Fast Company's Co.Design blog already. For those interested it provides some additional insight into the birth and influences of the project.

I visited the T-shirt printer this week to start getting things ready. This shop definitely knows what it is doing and these will not be your typical promotional shirts. I also started visiting possible workspaces. Nothing yet, but I plan to start production as soon as I do.

Only about 14 days left! Keep spreading the word. Remind your friends they don't have much time. And again, thanks for your ideas and support.

Best,
DG
