Dutch or Scheveningen Beach Chair by Marijn van der Poll: Kaigan for Ahrend

Dutch Beach Chair Kaigan by Marijn van der Poll
Huzzay! Dutch designer Marijn van der Poll has taken up my plea in a series of posts to revive the Scheveningen or Dutch Beach Chair:

  1. Postcard from Scheveningen, a Plea to Revive the Scheveningen Beach Chair.
  2. Possible to Revive the Scheveningen Beach Chair Design?
  3. High Back Beach Chair by Patricia Urquiola.
  4. Leather Button Upholstered Porters Chair at Bonhams.
  5. Showtime Highback by Jaime Hayon.
  6. The High Back Beach Chairs (Strandkorf or StrandKorb) of Bartelmann.
  7. Sardegna High Back Beach Chair by Borek.

Marijn designed the Kaigan for Dutch Office outfitter Ahrend. As yet it seems only feasable for indoor use, but I hope an outdoor version follows soon.

I first spotted HarpaH in a Google ad here on the Chair Blog itself. Its modern look and unconventional picket fence-like design caught my attention and sparked my interest enough to send me on a googling journey. Here’s what I found out via design.org:

HarpaH by a young Italian architect and designer Matteo Astolfi is a modern, sculptural chair that “appears and disappears, vibrates and deforms sounds.”  The chair is constructed of laminated plywood and finished with a textured paint of multiple colors.
