Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Amsterdam based Laurens van Wieringen has this pretty piled-up kid’s chair to present in Milan this week.
Material: Foam, soft coating, lacquered wood & steel
Size: 92,5 x 74,5 x 85,5The Stacking Throne was a private commission and especially designed for 1 year old girl, Bodile. She can now use it throughout her life. 4 of 5 foam parts can be taken out and used as her imagination suits her. Some girls just get lucky!
Hidden Light is both a chair and a light presented in a simple, clean cut and elegant form by Giha Woo from South Korea.
Always nice to hear Philippe Starck on his design, this time his Play Chair for Dedon especially with his French accent English.
Looking at people seated in the Jardin de Luxembourg he came to the conclusion that a back at an angle of 45% gives the best position to dream in … or even … to think in.
