  <body>&lt;div class=&quot;chunk&quot;&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;h4&gt;Looks good on you&lt;/h4&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;p&gt;A favorite piece of furniture, a beautiful chair; you&amp;#8217;ve caught yourself in a long gaze staring at its classic materials and seductive form. Just me? Oh, I know you love a sexy bent ply lounger when you see one.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;p&gt;Even better than that, imagine yourself in said chair after a long day, shirt untucked, tie loosened, a glass of red in your hand. Looks good on you, doesn&amp;#8217;t it?&lt;/p&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;p&gt;As great as you feel, you can&amp;#8217;t take that chair with you to tomorrow&amp;#8217;s meeting. But you can take one of these briefcases from Sam&amp;#8217;s Garage. It&amp;#8217;s like portable furniture.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;div class=&quot;chunk&quot;&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;h4&gt;In the garage&lt;/h4&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;p&gt;Sam Mobley hand-crafts briefcases out of his studio in Denver, CO. A man of many talents, he started &lt;a href=&quot;http://wnt.st/sams-garage-main&quot;&gt;Sam&amp;#8217;s Garage&lt;/a&gt; around five years ago to pursue a mixture of interests&#8212;woodworking, screen-printing and graphic design. Sam has an impressive portfolio of custom work and lately he&amp;#8217;s been exploring the use of bent plywood (shaped by gluing thin wood veneers together while bent around a form) for a series of products. The designs are completed with original screen-printed graphics.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;p&gt;The briefcases, Sam says, are &amp;#8220;an ode to the luggage designers of the 50s and 60s,&amp;#8221; and come in three styles of graphics&#8212;one for every taste.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;#x000A;&lt;/div&gt;</body>
