RE: cover (a Chair) or Dress a chair well by Fredrik Farg
RE:cover – costume making dresses for old chairs.
The project looks to the beauty of those shapes that not always have to change. Fredrik is inspired by classic menswear, such as suits and dinner jackets that never go out of style. -This is a lasting fashion; he says and refers to today's trend wear which is often discarded before being worn out.
I found this on Fredrik’s Picasa photo set Stockholm Furniture Fair 2009.
I’m glad I came across another Chair Blogger, Chair Chick. Unfortunately she doesn’t publish very frequently, but she has an eye for extraordinary chairs. Moreover she has taken away the blog entirely. She described an encounter with Harush Shlomo who was born in Jerusalem in 1961 and lives and works in New York city and Milan.

Cloth Chair by German designers Jehs and Laub
Via Design Maroc.
I know! It’s high summer and Halloween is far away, but I had to feature Professor Mark Csele who loves to scare the kids with skeletons in an electric chair in the front porch for Halloween.
Our displays, pictured here, featured a skeleton in an electric chair. When a kid approaches the porch the system triggers and the skeleton rises out of the chair accompanied by fog, a strobe light, and loud sounds of an electrical arc. The front window featured a rear-projection video of a large tesla coil operating with large arcs streaming everywhere to complete the ‘mad scientist’ appearance (also completed by yours truly wearing a lab coat and a wig of “shocked” white hair).
