Barstool by PearsonLloyd

British design studio PearsonLloyd are presenting new work with Bernhardt, Martinez Otero and Walter Knoll at this years Salone. The new bar stool project for Walter Knoll is made from a single moulding incorporating a foot rest, seat pan frame and features a unique gas lift actuation mechanism. There are no visible fixings yet the chair is possible to take a part for repair and recycle if needed. Concept The stool has been designed with the upholstery in mind so that it can be replaced and repaired with all parts being disassembled ultimately for recycling. There are no visible fixings on the product and the main assembly is push fit making it efficient to assemble and easy to build. It’s unique, in that it’s Walter Knolls’ first, fully integrated plastic product but still draws on the heritage of high upholstery with an innovative design to the seat pan and seat cover.

Chiaso Bar Stools

Chiasso’s spring collection — Love It or Leave It? Chiasso’s new spring collection is apparently supposed to be a a wonderful treasure — as the titles of their newsletter, Shhh…Spring Preview – Just a click away!, suggests. However, I’m not sure exactly what the secret is… The secret just may be that the new spring collection will evoke boredom… Case in point — the Bermuda patio collection. Sterile, dull, uninspired.

Martino Gamper: 100 chairs in 100 days in 100 ways, part 2: Walking Chair

Walking Chair Poster

Through Viennese Gallery Walking Chair I got acquainted with Martino Gamper first.

He is a real Chair-O-Holic who doesn’t only collect photos of chairs like me, but also collects real chairs and then does something with his collection.

With his project 100 chairs in 100 days in 100 ways he produced one chair per day giving old chairs he had collected a new twist.

Here are some photos I was able to collect from the Walking Chair exhibition in Vienna:

Martino Gamper Walking Chair 01

The Bottom is made from an ‘Arnold Circus’ Stool. The Arnold Circus stool was designed by Gamper in 2006 for The Friends of Arnold Circus, a regeneration project in Shoreditch, East London.

Martino Gamper Walking Chair 08

This one bears some distant resemblance with Joseph Hoffman’s Sits Machine. Aptly shown in Vienna.
