There is that Swiss designer who coined his chair “Frankenstein Chair“, but otherwise, like me, you might ask: “What in heaven’s name has Frankenstein to do with a chair?”
That was until I found the Blog Frankensteinia which explains it quite simple: During long days of filming, the movie stars who are in heavy outfits, have to have a space to rest without cluttering their outfit or being bothered by it. Such chair kept Boris Karloff while resting backstage on the set of the Son of Frankenstein in 1939.
Ha, creepy 🙂
