Sexychair is pretty, light and versatile. It always builds a dialectic relationship with the interiors that host it and comes across almost as a way of thinking or as a choice of life turned into beauty. With its alluring and winding curves, it is as sexy as a beautiful woman, and, as any beautiful woman, sometimes it is cute and wants to have fun: its metal handles help it to move the goalposts constantly even if it never stops performing its duty providing the comfort it promises.

This Symmetric Armchair is reissued by Ralph Puccini
Paul McCobb (1917-1969) was one of the leading contemporary furniture designers in America in the 1950s and 1960s. Over twenty years, he designed an impressive range of multi-functional furniture, accessories and textiles as well as many notable interior design projects. McCobb’s design aesthetic is simplicity of form with a lack of ornamentation. Inspired by his New England upbringing and influenced by the Shaker design principles, McCobb combined slender lines with sculptural forms. Best known for his furniture designs, McCobb also acted as design consultant for many leading corporations including Singer, Alcoa, Goodyear and Columbia Records. McCobb was the recipient of MoMA’s Good Design Award five times between 1950-1955 and the Philadelphia Museum of Arts’ Contribution to Better Design Award in 1959.

Cloak refers to a clothing piece used for traveling, resembling a cape, worn over the shoulders to protect the vulnerable human body from the environment.
The Cloak Chair is an adaptable chair made to suit a wide variety of spaces and environments. Able to change its cloak-like covering that sits on the chair’s shoulders, it is a chameleon that is able to blend seamlessly into multiple contexts. It is related to transient lifestyles and the way we intuitively learn to adapt to different environments.
The Cloak chair wears three types of cloaks — the Outdoor version, made with durable fabric; the Winter version, made out of soft, comfortable felt; and lastly the Formal setting, made out of luxurious leather.
Cloak Chair was part of House of Today’s 3rd Biennial show entitled Jungle Protocol at the Yacht Club Beirut, December 2016.
Leather work done in collaboration with Johnny Farah.
Actually the Troll Chair of Anastasia Nysten is #31 of the 999 Armchairs Book series, but I had featured the Troll Chair alreay in 2018, hence I feature her Cloak Chair here.
