TRÅD Chair by Astrid Tolnov Larsen

TRÅD Chair by Astrid Tolnov Larsen

The ear flap chair is often set in the context of heavy upholstery furniture. This type of chair, aims to create a safe and undisturbed space in the space of the user. In this project, work has been done to create a light and open construction that preserves the good and safe qualities of the ear flap chair. The frame of the chair is designed so that the user is lifted away from the cold metal construction. In this way, the user’s body is only in contact with the chair’s hot materials -hearing flagline and oil treated ash.

Update:
Some people seem not to believe you can sit in the chair. Therefor I add Astrid herself seated in the very chair:

Chair by Saul Steinberg for Flair

Chair by Saul Steinberg for Flair

Saul Steinberg was born in Romania and studied in Bucharest and Milan. Architecture was among his studies. He specialized in Photo-drawings hybrids. These hybrid photo-drawings come in two forms: photographs (and occasionally old engravings) whose original subjects—furniture, appliances, street excavations, crumbled paper—take on new identities through the addition of drawn lines; and drawings on furniture, objects, sidewalks, or buildings, which were then photographed to record their new mutations.

Steinberg created the first of these photoworks for the short-lived magazine Flair, where they appeared as inset booklets in two issues.
