Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Long overdue, but still a project wordth a smile the Sugar Chair by Pieter Brenner.
Pieter Brenner was born January 5th 1976 in Amsterdam, where he spent his first five years of his life. Nevertheless, he consideres himself a German designer, but he never rejected the article “Designer from Netherland”. He worked for many years as a designer for companies in England, Brazil and Italy.
A clever way of fixing the cushions to the sofa and at the same time offering means to slip something behind the straps so that it stays on the sofa.
This chair, designed by Dutch Architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage is part of the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam which has an impressive collection of design chairs.
Berlage was a man who did not like curves. Because a chair needs a back that reclines a bit to make it more comfortable to sit on, he applied another design principle, according to reviewers of his work borrowed from the Egyptian Chair: Not having the back and the hind legs of the chair being made from one curving piece of wood, but to have the back lean on the seating or, like in this chair on the ruler connecting hind legs and front legs. Frank Lloyd Wright, who inspired Berlage did the same with this high back chair.

Always a nice surprise which posts make the cut.
Amazingly we have three posts both as the Best 5 of Half May – Half June, 2013 and for the whole of June.
Only some minor down time this month.
According to the stats module of the Jetpack plugin June, 2013 had 44,564 views vs May, 2013 49,829views. Less posts on average, hence probably less views.
Stay tuned!
Seattoo is a set of two identical seats that can be nested together in an unusual, interactive way. Like puzzle pieces, the two seats interlock sideways by simply pushing one into the other. Made of solid steel, each is independently strong enough to support a person by itself
Seattoo is a winner of the 2011 red dot product design award.
