Stacking Throne by Laurens van Wieringen Milan 2011 (12)

Amsterdam based Laurens van Wieringen has this pretty piled-up kid’s chair to present in Milan this week.

Material: Foam, soft coating, lacquered wood & steel
Size: 92,5 x 74,5 x 85,5

The Stacking Throne was a private commission and especially designed for 1 year old girl, Bodile. She can now use it throughout her life. 4 of 5 foam parts can be taken out and used as her imagination suits her. Some girls just get lucky!

Serpentine Armchair by Éléonore Nalet at 2011 IMM Cologne (19)

Serpentine Chair by Éléonore Nalet at 2011 IMM Cologne

Éléonore Nalet‘s serpentine chair was featured at 2011 IMM Cologne.

Serpentine is an armchair designed for sitting outside all year long. The delicate metallic structure reminds one of winter vegetation. When Summer comes back, Serpentine is dressed with long colored cushions that entwine the backrest and armrests supports. You can still glimpse the underlying metal frame, but your body will never feel its touch. The weaving creates a comfortable and welcoming irregular upholstery.

Un-Tied or Tied-Up Armchair?

Un-tied or tied-up chair?
Found this armchair with Tie Covering by Peter Rafael Russo on a blog of SF Weekly. The chair was entered for a 2009 “Masterminds” design competition which in one way or the other was organized by Stanford University.

As we have our typical language problems by nature of our non native English speaking contributors already, my question is: Is “Un-Tied” better than “Tied-Up”?

Kubus or Cube Armchair by Josef Hofmann

Kubus or Cube Armchair by Josef Hoffmann
Austrian furniture manufacturer Wittmann still makes it, the Kubus or Cube armchair by Josef Hoffmann. It’s one of my favorites. Another omission I’ve never featured it here. The design is from 1910.
