<p>In honor of Women&#8217;s History Month, this week&#8217;s round-up presents some of our favorite collaborations with female designers. Working together, these pairings, teams, and ensembles channel the creative energy generated when the genders mix it up.</p>
<p><span id="more-21609"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Eva, Eva Zeisel with KleinReid -</strong> After approaching ceramic artist Eva Zeisel in 1999, KleinReid began a 12-year-long collaboration, generating an exclusive line of more than 20 handmade designs. The organic curves of &#8220;Eva Centerpiece,&#8221; an 11-piece set, offer endless variations for display. Find the collection at <a title="KleinReid" href="http://kleinreid.com/home.php?cat=252" target="_blank">KleinReid</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. Mirra Chair, Studio 7.5 -</strong> Designers Claudia Plikat, Carola Zwick, Roland Zwick, and Burkhard Schmitz make up Studio 7.5, designers of the Mirra Chair as well as the <a href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Setu-Chair" target="_blank">Setu Chair</a> for Herman Miller. Carola Zwick describes the chairs&#8217; beauty as &#8220;not only what you see, it&#8217;s also what you feel.&#8221; See and sit in a Mirra or a Setu and you&#8217;re sure to agree. Find yours at <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Mirra-Chair" target="_blank">Herman Miller</a>.</p>
<p><strong>3. Branca Chair, Kim Colin and Sam Hecht -</strong> The founders of London&#8217;s <a title="Industrial Facility" href="http://www.industrialfacility.co.uk/" target="_blank">Industrial Facility</a>, drawing fresh inspiration from the natural form of trees, created the single piece of wood Branca Chair to be the perfect modern chair: light, comfortable, and adaptable. Robotically produced, the minimal, durable design is both comfortable to rest in and pleasing to gaze upon. Available in three finishes at <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Branca-Chair" target="_blank">Herman Miller</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4. The Scout Regalia Bicycle, Makoto Mizutani and Benjamin Luddy -</strong> An amalgam of a mixte bike, an English-Dutch town bike, and a mountain bike, the Scout Regalia unites performance, style, and craftsmanship. The unique design is Mizutani and Luddy&#8217;s shared vision of an American-made, truly American bike. Check them out at <a title="Scout Regalia" href="http://scoutregalia.com/SR_store_BICYCLE-01.htm" target="_blank">Scout Regalia</a>.</p>
<p><strong>5. Forage Bowties, Shauna Alterio and Stephen Lloidolt -</strong> After completing MFAs at Cranbrook, Alterio and Lloidolt began collaborating on various projects, including Forage. Thanks to their shared affinity for the vintage and deadstock fabrics, the couple&#8217;s fresh designs are reaching new-classic status. (We bet Charles Eames would have loved them.) Explore all their hand-crafted products at <a title="Forage" href="http://forage.bigcartel.com/product/black-tie-bow-tie-arrowhead" target="_blank">Forage</a>.</p>
<p><strong>6. Eames Molded Plastic Chair, Ray and Charles Eames -</strong> Drawing from their shared playfulness, curiosity, and devotion to a continual design process, Ray and Charles created some of the most iconic furniture designs ever produced, including the first-ever mass-produced plastic chair. More than 60 years later, it remains a style leader in modern design. Choose from multiple colors and bases at <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Category/Product-Group/Eames-Molded-Plastic-Chairs" target="_blank">Herman Miller</a>.</p>
