Richard Meier designed what we call “the Ice Palace” here in my hometown The Hague. Never knew he designed an armchair until I found this one, numer 810, at the Brooklyn Museum.

The Matrix Unplugged Chair by Zoran Milvojevic was exhibited at the San Diego based Device Gallery. It has been crafted from prototype torpedo lifting jaws of a nuclear submarine. In that respect it is not only unusual, but also unique. Seating position adjustable with motorized hydraulics.
According to Born Rich the Matrix Unplugged is a bargain at $37,000.
Armchair by Eliel Saarinen
The Finish designer Eliel Saarinen moved to the United States in 1925. Saarinen was asked by George G. Booth to develop the Cranbrook Educational Center at Bloomfield Hills, Michigan – currently referred to as the Cranbrook Academy of Art. This project was intended to be similar to the Bauhaus idea in Germany. He has not designed many chairs, but has influenced directly or indirectly a whole generation of chair designers. Students of Saarinen at Cranbrook were: Charles and Ray Eames, Florence Schust (later Florence Knoll) and Harry Bertoia.
Here an armchair from the Saarinen House that he designed for himself at Cranbrook, USA.
