CH52 Chair by Hans Wegner

CH52-Chair-by-Hans-Wegner

I’m a big fan of Hans Wegner, because he designed chairs you actually can sit comfortably on.

However, that’s not the reason I post this photo here.

I came across Suite New York, apparently a chair distributor. My next post will make clear why I want to post about them.

Again theirs is a site built with flash photos. No way of pinching a photo … even not with Webkut of Toki Woki and also not wit Clipmarks (which dissappeared since posting this item), but I succeeded with Fireshot Pro, a nifty Firefox plugin, also available for IE. I hate the hassle having to do screen dumps in one way or another….

Red Blue Lego Chair by Mario Monale

This Red Blue Lego Chair by Mario Monale Minale after Gerrit Rietveld for Droog Design is for sale at Phillips de Pury. Estimate £20,000-25,000.

Added September 14, 2009:

It appears I made an error in this post, the same error Phillips de Pury made: The designer is not Mario Monale, but Rotterdam based Mario Minale of the Minale Maeda studio.

Here is a detail of the chair:
