Suzenne by Chiara Andreatti
Suzenne by Chiara Andreatti for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna
A piece brimming with contemporary spirit, the SUZENNE lounge chair by Chiara Andreatti offers a graceful take on some of Gebrüder Thonet Vienna’s trademark features: bent beech-wood and woven cane. The chair features a sleek structure in bent beech-wood, with the combination of straight and curved lines securing the backrest in woven cane, with wood frame. The cushions on the seat and backrest are soft and cosy, springing forth like a flower from the stem.

BM 65 Armchair by Bruno Mathsson
BM 65 Armchair by Bruno Mathsson
For many years, Bruno Mathsson regarded wood as the natural material to work with. However, in developing the Superellipse table and the span leg in steel he discovered a new medium. In the Danish Magazine ”Dansk Kunsthaandværk” (No5, 1964) he wrote that his work with the span leg had become ”one of the most exciting adventures I could dream of”. Bruno Mathsson saw the possibility of working with steel to create designs in a different direction. During this period, Mathsson had completed another design utilising steel tubes, under the working title of BM 65. He signed and dated the finished drawing on 22 December 1965. He was also keen to see this chair in production but his enthusiasm for the design could not overcome the technical difficulties it presented given the production methods available to him. Consequently, chair BM 65 was never developed beyond the drawing board. Now technology is equal to the task of producing Mathsson´s design. Chair BM 65 is in production. It unites timeless elegance and a modern form that is reminiscent of the Superellipse

Pipe Armchair by Jasper Morrison
Pipe Armchair by Jasper Morrison
Designed for Magis in 2008
The Pipe Chair has an aluminium structure and an option of an aluminium seat and back with holes for outdoor use or high-pressure resinated plywood for indoors or light outdoor use. There’s an armchair and a normal chair version. The tooling for the chair is remarkable, with a variety of state-of-the-art bending machines controlling the tubes’ 3-D profiles. It’s beautifully made and probably one of the strongest chairs ever built as I chose a large-diameter tube and the structure (especially the armchair) is very rigid. It stacks like a French café chair on the X under the seat, allowing four or five in a stack before it gets too high.
Jasper had a solo exhibition in Grand Hornu, Belgium, named Thingness, in June 2015 where I took this photo. (Talking about backlog).
