Strap-On Chair by Annika Schmidt

Strap-On Chair by Annika Schmidt Posted by: Jeannie Choe on Thursday, February 28 2008 straponchair.jpg Artist and designer Annika Schmidt’s Strap-On Chair looks and sounds a little risqué, especially shown here on topless people, but it’s a series project in-progress that’s intended to attach to just about anything. Objects are live and constantly transforming. Rather than serving as ends in themselves, each piece serves as a vehicle to a greater interaction. Through their activation and engagement by participants, or simply through a new location, each piece takes on a new life.

The Boxing Glove Chair is a comfortable piece of furniture shaped as you can see as a boxing glove. I’m sure that boxing or kick boxing fans would like to have a chair like this while they are watching a boxing match. It looks good, is comfortable, and if you favourite fighter is not doing good you can throw a few punches to this glove. The Boxer’s Chair comes in a cream and red “boxer feel” faux leather upholstery.

I didn’t know china chair teapots existed, but they do.

About Paul Cardew, Master Teapot Maker
Over the last fifteen years Paul Cardew has established himself as the world’s preeminent designer and producer of collectible teapots.

His talents have also been widely recognized by museums art galleries and the British Tea Council for whom he designed a special range of teapots in the late 80’s.

His obsession with producing ever more imaginative and intricate designs has remarkably not sent him “potty”. His youthfulness and energy bear witness to the naturally reviving qualities of tea.

You can find more about Paul Cardew and more of his chair teapots at the site Cardew Club
