The Object of Desire, Sweet Jane – A Corset inspired Lounger by Charlie Davidson

UK-based designer Charlie Davidson ‘s The Object of Desire, Sweet Jane is inspired by the form of a corset.

Davidson began the project a few years back, developing initial concept drawings to produce the first scale mock-ups and a number of 3D computer visualization.
Upon a visit to Vollers corset company – into producing corsets since the 19th century – the shape and form of the lounge really began to develop.

Although I like the corset story, I have a feeling there is some similarity in design with the Orgone Stretch Lounge by Marc Newson.

RE:cover – costume making dresses for old chairs.
The project looks to the beauty of those shapes that not always have to change. Fredrik is inspired by classic menswear, such as suits and dinner jackets that never go out of style. -This is a lasting fashion; he says and refers to today's trend wear which is often discarded before being worn out.

I found this on Fredrik’s Picasa photo set Stockholm Furniture Fair 2009.

Chairchez La Femme – The Seaser Chair by Lonc


On June 3, 2010, this Seaser Chair by Lonc will be launched…in The Hague, where Lonc resides.

This is an ancient style postcard that Lonc creatively uses to promote it’s Seaser Chair. It inspired me for the first part of the title: Chairchez La Femme.

Chairchez is approximately how the French pronounce cherchez which means as much as “look for” or “search”. La Femme is French for The Lady. I mean: If the lady catches your attention, maybe the chair does as well. Lonc very creatively uses the ancient style postcard as a means of creating various persona who could identify themselves with the Seaser. The Lady is one of them. On another forum I’ll go deeper into this marketing technique and the other persona Lonc uses.

About Lonc
Lonc or Lonc, Living Products is a new furniture design label that also will be launched on June 3, 2010 by two Dutch dutch industrial designers Rogier Waaijer and Bartel Hulst. I’m sure you will see more of them in the future.

Introducing the Chairchez La Femme Category
At the occasion of this post I’ve introduced another category for this blog. One that researches the relation between chair marketing and a beautiful lady, sometimes scantly dressed…much better than other possible names…I’ll go back into the archives and tag a couple of old posts so that the category gets a meaning.
