Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
I’ve been browsing IMM Cologne irl (In Real Life) for chairs yesterday, January 23, 2011. I’ll post about it as a series at 2011 IMM Cologne (1) etc.
The first chair that asked my attention is this Speedster by long time Dutch designer Gerard van den Berg. Just before I decided to pay IMM a visit, I was wondering why I hadn’t published anything from his hand, because some of his chairs are very comfy. Nowadays Gerard produces some of his designs himself under the name Label.nl.
I rediscovered the designer who is responsible for the various Pixel Chair and Sofa Upholsteries, the Spanish designer Christian Zuzunaga, also know as Mr Pixel. Here on the Moel Lounge Chair by Inga Sempe for Ligne Roset

I found this Mr Lounge Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe on Christie’s site where it was sold 5 years ago for $1,146.
A green chair manufacturer is Philippines based Passad. They put together tiny chips of wood of the Gmelina tree which grows abundantly in the Philippines and hand craft them into sculptural furniture like this Easy Lounge chair
