The Battery Conservancy's international design competition to find the perfect chair for Battery Green has been narrowed to five finalists—one from Brazil (right), one from Canada, one from Mexico, and two from the United States. The designs include one that's "conceived as an open blossom: seat, back and arms are abstracted as petals and synthesized into an archetypal floral form," one that's a "study in dualities," two reversible chairs, and more.
