Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
September started today and from here the time that green leafs start to turn yellow is nearing, at least in our Northern hemisphere. Furthermore Julia exclaimed somewhere “I Loooove Yellow”. Hence my suggestion is that we make yellow our September theme. The first I can offer is this Knit Stool by Claire-Anne O’Brien who we discovered recently.
The ‘broken’ appearance of Ligne Roset’s Break Stool is only an illusion as it’s said to be “remarkably solid and durable”. Material: molded European beech.

Jessica Carnevale is an American designer who studied industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design. Stretch is her debut collection.
With “Stretch”, Jessica brings the exuberance of the fashion world into her designs, mixing textures, materials and patterns. She experimented with a number of different materials before choosing latex, bungee and rope for their bright colors and wondrous elasticity which provides a comfortable and flexible seating surface. Built by Jessica in her studio in Brooklyn she made a simple, artful chair to better frame the compositions that she created. The result is a collection of three vivid pieces which work beautifully on their own but are so much more fun mixed and matched – in your choice of combinations.
