Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
While featuring the Molecular Chair by Antonio Pio Saracino, I had to think of the Nano Chair Dutch designer Lucas Maassen designed some time ago.
This chair is not visible with your naked eye, only with a SEM microscope. The Chair is build with a Focused Ion Beam and is 5 micron, and made from platinum.
I found this cabbage drying chair on the Flickr account of a foodbloggie: Kattebelletje

A Boxing Sofa, found on Geekologie. Rather then just sitting on it you can actively engage with it.
1) What’s a Bear Chair?
When a Dutchman says “Bear Chair” he automatically thinks Adirondack Chair. I really don’t know why. Or, even worse, maybe it is just me. Google also comes up with the Adirondack Chair, but maybe that is because I search for Bear Chair in The Netherlands, Dutchman’s home country.
2) The Grizzly Bear as a chair
Then I saw this photo of the Grizzly Bear Chair on the Net. It inspired me to share a couple of unusual Bear Chairs here.
The Grizzly Bear Chair was presented to the then president of the USA by a famous trapper Seth Kinman. Somewhere in the 19nd century the Grizzly bear became extinct in California.

After – or even while – Rem D. Koolhaas had 3D scanned it and morphed it into United Nude’s Lo Res chair, Chris Bosse now has sliced up the 1967 Panton Chair as part of the Re-loved: designer stories exhibition at the Sydney Powerhouse Museum that runs from 31 July – 30 September 2010 during the Sidney Design Festival.
Bosse, director of architectural firm LAVA, is one of several designers commissioned by the Powerhouse to use a pre-loved chair to tell a story about a piece of furniture they love.
“We’ve chosen to represent this shape as slices, similar to an MRI scan in order to make visible its complex 3dimensional geometry. The chair is metaphorically and physically carved out of a sliced box, †says Bosse.
