Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
5 Years ago I started this blog out of my fascination with the Thonet story. Therefore I thought to celebrate with a special one, the Angel Chair or thonet no. 19 which was produced by Thonet Austria between 1887-1919. Geert VanHoutte kindly has send me this photo for publication.
Rui Pereira and Ryosuke Fukusada of Sapore dei Mobili created a “furniture pan” for tiny cakes shaped like interior objects in an attempt to “give new meaning to the notion of ‘good taste’ in furniture”. It’s said to be a comment on “how consumers are unable to digest the huge amount of new products that companies are launching each year.”
Personally, I love the idea behind it more than the presentation of the product itself. But maybe once they find a manufacturer and work out the final details it’d all look more bite-worthy.

The reDesign project is based on a 12” vinyl single release and is realized at a scale of 1:3 so as to keep the pieces around 12″. The Red and Blue chair has been interpreted according to various musical genres including pop, classical, chill-out and dub.
D-W-A took the early Red and Blue, not painted yet, or painted in one color like white, and made a scale model according to the original and dubbed it “Classic”
D-W-A is a collective of music-obsessed designers that draws its inspiration from the music industry where sampling, remixing, covers and collaborations are commonplace. The designers remain anonymous to keep their 9-5 careers separate
