Danny Lane is a London-based designer, visual artist and glass sculptor who specializes in working with fractured and stacked glass. His popular Stacked Chair (1993) is made up of slab-like green-tinted glass with polished, irregular edges. The chair back and rear, single leg are constructed of an arched column of stacked irregularly cut and polished glass slabs held together by a central steel rod topped by a nut. Similar construction applies to the chair’s shorter front legs and feet.
This is what the chair looks like on display in the contemporary art wing of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where I took these photos last summer. You can actually find this chair for sale around the web, with a little Googling effort.
People aren’t the only ones going green these days. Now, businesses are trying to do it, too, both to appeal to customers and to do their part to save the planet. The CompTIA Green IT Certification shows that, in addition to your other IT abilities, you can do your part to help a company go green.
What Exactly Does The CompTIA Green IT Certification Show?
The CompTIA Green IT Certification shows that you have the ability to put environmentally friendly practices into place within the context of an existing IT infrastructure. It basically means that you can go beyond working in the IT field to doing it in an environmentally friendly way and that you can spread these practices throughout the IT component of a business. It does not replace other IT credentials but rather gives you a little something extra.

It’s always fun to pop into the Patricia Field boutique, even if it’s just to check out the many colorful displays and artwork in this bi-level space that includes a downstairs hair salon. I just had to capture an image of this “Tree” made up of strings of green lights draped over a tree-like frame. Innovative!
Patricia Field is located at 306 Bowery, between Bleecker and Houston, NYC.
