Hero Chair by RaymentWire

Hero Chair by Raymentwire
Time to celebrate our sunny wheather and summertime with the Hero Chair by Raymentwire.

Hat tip to Webdesigner Depot who were able to feature 50 chairs, many of which we haven’t featured … yet. Among them this outdoor Hero Chair with matching stool by Raymentwire.

For the last two decades RaymentWire has been building hand-crafted wirework structures for treasured gardens, conservatories and interiors of the world.

RaymentWire was started by father and son, Ron and Adrian in 1987. Initially we resurrected old French and Victorian designs, then soon began producing our own extensive catalogue. …
RaymentWire have exhibited award winning wirework at the RHS Chelsea Flower show for many years, establishing an international reputation and loyal client base.

Most of our products are fully galvanised and finished in antique etch, giving a maintenance free, life-time of enjoyment.

The ebb and flow of seasons change, refreshing the gardens soul with a new coat of colour, while permanent structures look on in silent appreciation.

Frankenstein Chair

Frankenstein Chair

There is that Swiss designer who coined his chair “Frankenstein Chair“, but otherwise, like me, you might ask: “What in heaven’s name has Frankenstein to do with a chair?”
That was until I found the Blog Frankensteinia which explains it quite simple: During long days of filming, the movie stars who are in heavy outfits, have to have a space to rest without cluttering their outfit or being bothered by it. Such chair kept Boris Karloff while resting backstage on the set of the Son of Frankenstein in 1939.

La Gramigna Chair by Michele Marin

ironic, customizable/deformable and “antistress” confortable chair. Everybody can deform it as he wants, so every chair will be always different from the others. This is my personal interpretation of “accessible luxury” philosophy. Simply deforming a standard product, you will transforrm it in something unique. It’s “accessible” because it’s a cheap furniture accessory, composed by metallic structure and a padded modular sitting.

2008. Finalist at “Toscana Design Challenge 2008” competition.
