Thanks. I don't know the answer to this one. Was thinking "Madeleine," but I can't get the rest to fit, and I've not had the time to try to do more research.

The first letter M is right, but that's definitely not it. Wrong country. (You used to try to predict what my clues might be about by jumping to conclusions about my interests. Remember?)

I think the candy is Italian -- I vaguely recall some thread about it here. I know that it wasn't Madeleine, but I was amused that there's actually a Romanesque church in Vezelay by that name that's actually famous. (Obviously there's the one in Paris.)

Clue: Many famous architects have designed a version of this object: 2 words (6, 6).

The second word looks like a word in English, so it's now accepted to refer to this object in English as a (6, 5) (as a bastardized form).

A famous American version of this object is an (5, 5). (The first word is a last name. The 3rd letter of the last name is "m".)

Yes.

Eames chair.

What about the other parts? Ok, lounge chair.

What the "original" is called?

You can take the next clue, starrsville.

Oh, geez. I didn't want to get it right. I don't know how to do the next clue.

I'll give it some thought and I'll post later tonight.

J'attends.

Of course, it's nice that starrsville gives a clue. yk has given too many, but I know she is quick.

Okay, here it goes (starrsville - you still owe us one )

This artist (still alive) [6,9] created a series of sculptures. The theme of the sculptures is a certain creature [6 "s" is first letter].

The artist made 6 bronze casts of a particular one, titled [5].

One of the 6 casts can be found at [place: 10,6] in [city: 6].

This artist also won a coveted award [5,4] several years ago at a well-known art show.
