Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
You can find Belgian designer Peter Donders on Pinterest nowadays and it is interesting to see that he published this new chair he coined “Rietveld Minimal Surface” there rather than on his own site first.
Chairblog Top posts as per our Feedburner stats. Luckily the number of views of the top 5 posts went up a bit, because our stats as per Google Analytics in the period Half June – Half July vs Half May – Half June 2012 went down:
Visits 31,871 vs 38,221 went down as well as our page views 76,761 vs 92,794.
Hosting was almost flawless. Either the summer, the Penquin revision of Google, the fact that we abandoned our translation plugin, or the fact that we post less or less quality stuff or a combination plays a role. I don’t know. You?
Anyway, I’ll try to publish more in the second half of July and hope to see all you back soon!
“Time for something colorful” I thought and came across this Charpoy Bench by Doshi Levien on the Moroso site.
Hybrid No2 is a bunnie-esque armchair complete with ears and paws and is part of the Hybrid collection by a London based designer Merve Kahraman. Sit down and try on a pair of ears! Or, come over to the dark side and try on a pair of horns…
HYBRID is the “animalistic” collection by Merve Kahraman where a chair unites with its owner, merging into one. Hybrid No1 is an armchair with horns – it’s handmade and available in different types and colors of leather.
Merve Kahraman (born in 1987) studied Interior Design at the Istituto Europeo di Design(Milan/Italy) before moving to London. Since graduating, she has worked in several architecture and design studios in Istanbul, New York and London. Her decision to specialize in industrial design stems from her desire to include furniture and products as an integral part of her designs for spaces. Currently, she is continuing her masters education in Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (London/UK) and working on her own industrial design projects.
