The X Lounger by Timothy Schreiber
The X Lounger by Timothy Schreiber which some people call a nest chair.
If you have an affinity for organic yet geometric shapes, this chair should tickle your fancy. The X Lounger is based on a single ray, traced along a periodic double curved surface. Its close resemblance to China’s Bird’s Nest Stadium is a testament to how smart and functional this form is. Strong yet flexible without looking harsh and man made.

Recycled Skateboard Furniture
You don’t have to be a skater to appreciate these clever decks! Based on their passion for mid-century design, skateboard culture, and the SoCal lifestyle, designers Pierre Andre Senizergues and Gil Le Bon de LaPointe have launched a new company that makes sleek, gorgeous post modern furnishings and accessories out of recycled second hand skate board products. Skate Study House is quintessential California – skater cool, mid-century minimal, and totally green.
Taking their cues from the Case Study Houses that redefined the modern home and had such a pronounced influence on architecture, Skate Study House recreates popular modern furnishings through the vision of a devoted boarder. The Godfather Lounge Chair (and ottoman) is an Eames-inspired delight constructed out of seven walnut laminated decks while the Jet Set Lounge Chair is great for both indoor and outdoor use since it’s upholstered in nearly indestructible neoprene, or surface wetsuits. Not letting a single component go to waste, Skate Study also makes the witty Astro clock from polyurethane wheels and the sleek Skate Wall out of the maple deck out of which skateboards are cut. With a sweet selection chairs, coffee tables, and accessories, this is mid-century for the new generation of 21st century design enthusiasts.

CH07 Lounge Chair by Hans Wegner
Hans Wegner’s CH07 Lounge Chair via Hive Modern.
Design Hans Wegner, 1963.
Form-pressed plywood, upholstery.
Made in Denmark by Carl Hansen & Son.The Hans Wegner three-legged shell chair was originally introduced in 1963. A few limited series were produced, but the project soon came to a stand still. The chair was relaunched in 1997 and after 34 years of oblivion the chair finally got its breakthrough. As a curiosity, it is worth mentioning that one of the original shell chairs from the 60s sold for $20,000 at Christies in London in 1999.
Seat and back are made of formpressed plywood shells. The 3 legs consist of a laminated construction, the 2 front legs are made of one continuous piece and the hind leg is a separate element. To enhance the comfort, Wegner has added 2 upholstered cushions which are fastened to the shell with screws from the back. In spite of its three-legs it stands well on the floor and does not easily topple over. Although it is low and does not feature armrests it is easy to get up by seizing the front edge and pulling oneself up. It is elegant as a soloist as well as in groups of 2, 3 or more. In 1999 the chair was given the highest possible grade in The Technological Institute of Denmark’s test program.

Recently I discovered Designer Pages which is a great inspiration for designers and manufacturers. There I discovered the site of Portland based chair distributor Hive Modern which is an example of a good website!
