Found these photos from new 2010 Infiniti chairs at Contemporist. Have yet to pinpoint their name and designer.

Seating Designs by Erik Griffioen
Erik Griffioen is a young Dutch designer who will be exhibiting at the Salone del Mobile furniture show in Milan, Italy for the first time this year.
Erik Griffioen designs with a powerful monumental beauty in mind. For him shape comes first, then material. His chairs and couches invite you to view them from all sides. As you walk around they seem to be changing their shape. Griffioen: ‘My work has to be exciting from every angle, have character, beauty and quality. And most of all: it has to be comfortable’.
Many of his chairs are interconnected. From his first chair came a second, a third and a fourth. And each generation would produce one or two new designs. He allowed himself only to change a design to create a new one, by rearranging points and lines according to a certain number of rules. This method of working has made Griffioens work into a recognizable visual idiom.
A couple of years ago he changed his way of working and broke with his own rules. He started designing more intuitively and more from his imagination but without losing his visual signature. This opened a new creative door and resulted in a great number of new designs of which the Low Rider (based on a chopper) and the Spider are the most illustrative examples. Designing these metal chairs have also made him realize how important material and craftsmanship is for a design. This is why in his work, quality and durability are equally important as comfort and the creation of exciting design.

As a geek myself, I’d spend more than 10 hours in front the desk staring my computer. I would love to have one of these hanging in my office and help me get away from the stiff chair and curl in the swing and chill. So I looked up where I could buy Loveuse B120 but wasn’t able to find Zedset’s website, neither did searching the keyword Loveuse B120 return any signs of its original source, so lets just admire its picture for now.

Tuyomyo Bench by Frank Gehry
I featured Emeco’s Tuyomyo Bench by Frank Gehry earlier, but got a special from Emeco after I had asked for a photo of Frank Gehry and Emeco’s owner together on the Tuyomyo Bench. That was published in a Wallpaper* issue of last year. Alas it was copyrighted, but now I have a second best: The Tuyomyo Bench with the daughter of the owner as a model:-)
