Klio 3-350 by Studio Hannes Wettstein – 2018 IMM Cologne 06
Horgenglarus is a small old Swiss furniture factory. It is Swiss oldest furniture factory.
It bends beech and oak for its chairs, but rather than ready made rods like Thonet it steam bends solid logs and after the bending carves out the chair parts like for this Klio Chair which combines classic chair making with a very modern look by the line of its back. The Klio was designed in 2014 by Simon Husslein and Stephan Hürlemann of Studio Hannes Wettstein.
570 Gender Lounge Chair by Patricia Urquiola – 2018 IMM Cologne 05
Seen at the Cassina Stand at IMM Cologne: The 570 Gender by Patricia Urquiola. In the past I have complained about the fact her web presence was not up to her level as a star designers, but nowadays her website is more up to her level.

Chip Chair by Lucie Koldova – 2018 IMM Cologne 04
Designer Lucie Koldova has been invited by the IMM Cologne organisation to create Das Haus, a special exhibition with her view on the future of furniture.
She has collaborated with TON CZ, as a successor of one of the original Thonet factories well versed to create new forms of bentwood furniture. From this collaboration originated the Chip chair. The back clearly alike a potato chip rather than a chair made from wood chips as other chip chairs on this blog show.
At first I’ll share my own photos with my dear readers. Later I’ll share TON CZ photo’s.
