It happens that I’m surfing the internet and find something I would like to feature here on the blog and I make a note or put something somewhere on my computer and forget about it. All of a sudden and sometimes eons later I can refind it on a place I would not reckognize as some place to put down items for future posts on Chair Blog. So I found Misura Emma. It exists already since 1902 and seems having collaborated in the 1930ies already with Alvar Aalto to produce this wonderful sofa bed. Would love to have it, but pff expensive somewhere in the € 7,000 nds.

Velvet Rope Couch by Misha Kahn
Halloween Seating (1)

Okay, especially for Halloween a bit of horror seating. First of all Sara Palin on her grizzly bear covered couch. Luckily the horror of having her actively engaged in politics seems to be over. Now she can live her own grizzly life;-)
Moody Series by Hanna Emelie Ernsting

The seating series “Moody” by the designer Hanna Emelie Ernsting follows the idea that “form follows moods” and consists of three pieces: Moody Couch, Moody Nest and Moody Bag.

The origin of the concept is the observation that in the modern world people forget to relax and this is where the Moody series comes in, inviting the user to “express feelings and “let go”. This kind of letting go leaves traces, causing the product to change and adjust to the moods of its user by taking various shapes and forms – the product becomes ‘alive’.

Oink – Pig Couch Hillhock by Pavia Burroughs

Discovered this pig couch by Philadelphia, USA, based Pavia Burroughs via Moggit. Pavia designed it for her senior thesis show.
It was on Etsy, but disappeared there.
