On a sunny Sunday in September I was standing in front of a closed showroom of Sawaya & Moroni in Milan. Consequently I could only take a photo through the shop’s glass window of this new Meteo Chair by William Sawaya.
Darn Prickly Chair
Darn prickly this cacti upholstered chair.

Sitting Wheel by Helmut Palla
And don’t forget the Sitting Wheel by Helmut Palla.
Captain’s Kids Chair by Christopher Stuart
Another bit of fun: The Captain’s Kids Chair, or Driftwood Monster. Christopher Stuart made it and it was sold in an online auction for a Chairish Children project.

Piano “Stool” by Helmut Palla
Helmut Palla is a real tongue in cheek chair designer based in Vienna. I have disregarded him too long here. His Klovier Hocker – German non expression that could be translated as “Stool with parts I’ve cut from the piano” – is one from 1996.
Helmut:
Wood, iron or words, all of them are cutted, deformed, distorted, disarranged. Sort of violence so I try to minimalize the injury of the existing & maximize the effect of the new impression with the precision of a surgeon. Sometimes it’s amputation, reducing to the essence, keeping only the bones & the identity.
You can count him in the same league – of Poetic Chair Clowns maybe(?) – as Pablo Reinoso and Martino Gamper
