Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Fun fact: an Aeron chair gets built every 17 seconds.
It didn’t always use to be like that though. The Kaizen (“continual improvement”) process was imported to Herman Miller directly from Toyota, in the 1990s, and was exactly what changed the speed of chair making. To compare, a new Aeron chair used to come off the line every 82 seconds, now it’s boxed and finished every 17 seconds, yep. You can read more about it on fastcodesign.com
Loved this clean and almost an all white appearance of the cafeteria at the Marr Plaza business center in Moscow, Russia. It’s a Panton chair lover paradise!
Eden, the Tenango Sound Chair by Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers takes its inspiration from the colorful embroidery of Mexico’s Otomi Indians, creating a “daring remix on Natuzzi’s iconic Sound Chair”.
The chair is manufactured by Studio 180°.

The chairs in this project are altered versions of modernist design classics. All pushed back into the simple archetype form. All of them are now dominated by simple ergonomic dimensions. Same seating height,seating width, seating depth, overall height, and angle of the backrest. Demystifying the past and asking important questions with regards to the future.
