She has sold millions of books and in the UK alone the total now stands at over 35 million!

One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her!) before turning to writing novels full-time. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first ‘novel’ when she was nine, filling in countless Woolworths’ exercise books as she grew up. “I am gratified to be part of the Knoll legacy I consider Knoll to be at the highest level of contemporary design, and our collaboration is a notable one for me.” With the Chadwick chair, he has proven himself as effective at bringing a product to market as he has been at creating the market itself.Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. Chadwick’s relationship with Knoll marks a milestone in the career of an inventive designer. Chadwick has received numerous awards over the past three and a half decades. Then in 1994, the landmark Aeron chair catapulted Chadwick to national attention the Industrial Designers Society of America and Business Week Magazine awarded Design of the Decade to the Aeron chair in 1999. In collaboration with William Stumpf he designed the Equa 1 flexing-plastic chair (1984). In 1974, Chadwick designed Chadwick Modular Seating. He then worked for architect Victor Gruen before establishing his own practice in 1964. A native of Southern California, Don Chadwick received his principal training in design at the University of California, Los Angeles. In the last few decades, Don Chadwick has pioneered the use of modern materials, moulding processes and mechanisms leading to cutting-edge products that have raised the standard for their market. I don’t know whether a chair becomes a so-called classic, but a good number of Knoll’s designs have been around for a long time, and hopefully this will have a good, long life.” Also, we can dress the chair up or down depending on whether we apply a cushion to the seat, which gives variability in terms of color, texture and pattern, and gives more options to the use of the chair. One looks much lighter in scale, the other one lower slung, a little bit wider, a little bit deeper - because the seating position for lounging is different from the more upright, attention-getting positions you’d have for a side chair or a dining chair. But still providing a maximum amount of comfort. Pardo was confident that Chadwick, one the premier ergonomics experts in the world, would bring maximum comfort and Knoll quality to the so-called “plastic stacker” category.Ĭhadwick: “the whole program is built around portability, stackability, and easy storage.
