Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Was featured in the Groningen Museum earlier this year (and partly last year). I missed it, but one of my Flickr friends took this nice photo of the hot dog chair. Actually, according to an earlier post, the chair was designed by Jaime and his wife Nienke Klunder.
Ezri took a lady dummy or mannequin, filled it with concrete and let it plunge into a trapezoidal box made from a perforated metal sheets.
The chair is formed.
Design: Ezri Tarazi
Design Assistance: Guy Mishali and Guy Ben Adon

This work was published on October 18, 2011 as a memento for Israeli Soldier, Gilad Shalit, who came back from isolated captivity after more than 5 years, and as a salute to his firmness.
Found this chair via edgina on Tumblr:
With the post: Chair Candy 1: Ron Arad at the Centre Pompidou in Paris I meant to start a small series of posts of Ron Arad’s solo exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, an exhibition that later was featured in Moma It stayed a very small series.
Recently I refound the photo’s I took there as I was reorganizing my photo’s and intended to go on with the series under Ron’s own lemma Chair Candy. For some time I’ve used Chair Candy as a nickname for chairs designed by Ron Arad. First it was a category. Later I reorganized the blog and made from many categories tags…there was a Chair Candy tag even….more rationalization did me get rid of the Chair Candy tag.
Magica2 Chair by David Conti who replaced two legs with plexiglass to create the illusion of an impossible balance.
