For the graphic identity, a photo essay by the Italian designer Bruno Munari \u2013 <em>Seeking Comfort in an Uncomfortable Armchair<\/em>\u00a0(1949) \u2013 was reenacted in a new context. In the original pictures, which show how designers\u2019 intentions are unpredictably met in real life, the dressed-up, middle-aged, white male designer is trying to find a comfortable posture in a heavy armchair. For this reenactment, however, a young, female Korean designer wearing Uniqlo jeans and a t-shirt tried to strike the same poses on a light-weight Muji office chair.
