Take a Seat by Jelte van Geest

I’m more inclined to coin this concept the Chair Di Dog

The Take-A-Seat is a chair concept that follows you wherever you go designed by Jelte van Geest. For instance if you’re in a library and you are a member of that library as you can see in this video. You hold your membership-card in front of the chair and from then on you have a seat that follows you around. This is a concept visualisation made by Jelte van Geest for his graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven. I think that this chair will remain a concept because people really don’t need to be that lazy, and I’m pretty sure that this chair would have huge problems following people in most houses. Now let’s see a video this interesting concept.

Sitscape by Hackenbroich


Sitscape by Hackenbroich.

The „Sitscape“ is a seating zone with a length of six meters. The form transforms the usual use of a couch. The design is based on specific seating positions and smooth transformations between them. Based on the preferred relaxing positions of the client we generated six basic positions and formed a perfect fit for them in the “Sitscape”. Consequently, the “Sitscape” provides familiar possibilities for relaxing. The transitional areas between these positions are undetermined in their use.

Tivoli Chair by Fredrik Mattson

The Tivoli chair can be experienced at the SE-exhibition until November 11th 2007 in Copenhagen and in January 2008 in Silkeborg. The Chair is the result of a collaborating experiment between PP Mobler and Swedish designer Frederik Mattson. The chair is made of ash wood, one of PP Mobler’s preferred materials. For the production itself they have used compressed wood, taking it to the extreme here by shaping four glued pieces of compressed wood that with the use of form-bending are able to rotate as a closed curve around a fixed axis. The shape of the curve is thus fixated, while the size grows bigger and bigger in a geometrical progression, thus the spiral shape makes up the chair’s seat, back, and sides. The shaping of the chair demands precision craftsmanship and specific treatment of the material. From the foot of the chair, made of red painted ash wood, there are six steel wires that at the end each have a glove shaped holder that both provides a strong grip and stabilizes the flexible spiral.

Ostrich

The Ostrich 3 in 1 Chair is a very clever piece of outdoor furniture. For great fun at the beach, the Ostrich 3 in 1 combines the comfort and versatility of a folding beach chair, recliner, and chaise. To tan your back, simply roll over, lift the face flap, pull up the foam facial cushions and relax with a book. Chair features 5 back positions, a 3-position foot rest, hardwood arms with carry handle, cup holder, and shoulder carry strap. The facial foam cushions can be used to rest your head while lying on your stomach to give your back a tan. In short, it has just about everything to ensure you a relaxing beach time. I was fascinated by this beach chair when I saw the picture below, take a look, you might fall in love with this chair.

Dharma Lounge by Palette Industries

The Dharma Lounge is designed by Alberta, Canada, based design studio Palette Industries, and is an interesting approach for a chair. The use of laser cutters in furniture design is starting to make these typographic efforts relatively easy to produce. The Lounge chair is cut to display the following saying:
Stand
Forget
Breathe
Acknowledge &
Observe.
