Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Éléonore Nalet‘s serpentine chair was featured at 2011 IMM Cologne.
Serpentine is an armchair designed for sitting outside all year long. The delicate metallic structure reminds one of winter vegetation. When Summer comes back, Serpentine is dressed with long colored cushions that entwine the backrest and armrests supports. You can still glimpse the underlying metal frame, but your body will never feel its touch. The weaving creates a comfortable and welcoming irregular upholstery.
Design Milk visited Jacob Chair by DESIGNKLYK’s booth at ICFF last year and got a demonstration of their Jacob Chair. DESIGNKLYK is a design collective of two Brooklyn based designers, Kenjiro Yamakawa and Loren Kulesus.
And another Chair loving blog Modern Chair Design where I found the Amore Mio Chair by Jon Goulder.
Found another Chair lover’s blog Ouno Design that featured these Rebar Chairs found in Trinidad and Cienfuegos, Cuba.
It is the blog of Ou No Design
Ouno (pronounced “OO-no”) which makes one-of-a-kind and limited-edition decor accessories – bags and fashion accessories for men and women, pillows, bedding, throws & blankets, floor cushions, rugs and wall hangings, sculptural objects and conversation pieces. Virtually all of our soft furnishings and accessories are “upcycled” from vintage materials and are hand-constructed in Vancouver, B.C.
