Hybrid No1 by Merve Kahraman

HYBRID is the “animalistic” collection by Merve Kahraman where a chair unites with its owner, merging into one. Hybrid No1 is an armchair with horns – it’s handmade and available in different types and colors of leather.

Merve Kahraman (born in 1987) studied Interior Design at the Istituto Europeo di Design(Milan/Italy) before moving to London. Since graduating, she has worked in several architecture and design studios in Istanbul, New York and London. Her decision to specialize in industrial design stems from her desire to include furniture and products as an integral part of her designs for spaces. Currently, she is continuing her masters education in Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (London/UK) and working on her own industrial design projects.

Zjedzony: Banana Chair by WamHouse, Peeled and Eaten

Zjedzony (“eaten” in Polish) armchair by WamHouse is a banana-shaped seat in which the “peel” is used as armrests. The chair could look really interesting if put in some minimalistic and “serious” looking surroundings – makes me think of a well lit clean-shaped living room finished in white and grays with little pops of color. Something tells me a Zjedzony placed in a room like that might as well make one miss the “banana point” at first, and not because the chair is not remarkable, for it definitely is, but exactly because the design is not excessive, only subtly humorous and not comical at all.

And if the chair itself wasn’t fun enough, check out this awesome promo image too:

Klara Chair

As Patricia Urquiola was the Curator of trends for the 2011 IMM Cologne exhibition, some of her chairs were on exhibition. Luckily, as she does very little with her web presence.

Update:

At Least Moroso gives us some insight in their products designed by Patricia… Seeing it I had to change the name from Karma into Klara. Sorry about that!

Juliet by Benjamin Hubert for Poltrona Frau: the Chair & the Making Of

Juliet by Benjamin Hubert for Poltrona Frau was inspired by the Italian renaissance fashion detail called the “Juliet sleeve” – a sleeve that fits the arm tightly and has a large de-constructed ‘puff’ on the shoulder. Juliet’s leather upholstery is ‘tri-pleated’ and utilizes the flexibility and tensile strength of leather.
