Heritic is an apt name for a Coffin Couch created by US based Autum. Photography by Philip Ritchie

The famous A56 armchair designed by Jean Pauchard in 1934 for Tolix is featured in the luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur‘s Spring/Summer-2011 campaign. The face of the newest collection is curvatious beauty Josephine de La Baume, a French actress and singer.
P.S. And just in case the photo above is not enough and you want to see the chair (or is it Josephine that you want to see more of?) in “action”, I suggest you check out the campaign at the AP website for some interesting jiggling gif pictures… I know you want to, so don’t be shy and click away! I won’t tell anyone you did.
Noga Berman, a young Israeli designer, created this Tunnel Chair.
Some time ago Oddee posted about 20 of the World’s Strangest Chairs. Most of those mentioned we’ve featured already in our category unusual (currently with 115 posts). However I had not seen yet this chair that Allen Jones designed in 1969 and which is part of the Tate collection.
And another image for the series Chairchez la Femme.
