What is a fighting chair? One to fish with and fight Big Fish on board of a Fisherman. Here’s a Fighting Chair by Nathan Morgan

Linda Lou Rocker by Leslie Webb
The Linda Lou by Leslie Webb is a modern twist of the ancient rocker. Light and comfortable.
About Leslie Webb
There are countless ways to leave a legacy in this world; it seems natural for me to craft furniture that will be here long after I am gone.
The designs of Leslie Webb celebrate natural materials and form. As a maker, she values craftsmanship and purpose. Invariably made of wood, her medium requires patience and a deep understanding of the inherent structural properties of it. She knows that every board of every species has its own personality. Therefore, it is important to become acquainted before making the first cut. For her, it is paramount to have confidence in the piece long after it has left her hands. Though utility is at the forefront of her mind when designing each piece, she firmly believes that furniture can delight the eye as well.
Proliferation Chair by Eun Sang Ernie Lee
I saw the Proliferation Chair shortly after Eun Sang Ernie Lee had put it to his (hers?) portfolio over at Coroflot Portfolios, which is a very good place to go to get some chair inspiration from time to time.
Take a reclaimed chair, decorate it with cotton balls and you can get this strong image.
Update: Apparently the portfolio link is not working anymore.

Outdoor ec-O Bench by Steven Ma
Found this ec-O Bench concept on Steven Ma’s hard to read (too small white font on a black background) Blog Xuberance. The bench is multi functional as it has built in sun energy and water collection to keep the plants growing.

Chairchez La Femme – The Seaser Chair by Lonc
On June 3, 2010, this Seaser Chair by Lonc will be launched…in The Hague, where Lonc resides.
This is an ancient style postcard that Lonc creatively uses to promote it’s Seaser Chair. It inspired me for the first part of the title: Chairchez La Femme.
Chairchez is approximately how the French pronounce cherchez which means as much as “look for” or “search”. La Femme is French for The Lady. I mean: If the lady catches your attention, maybe the chair does as well. Lonc very creatively uses the ancient style postcard as a means of creating various persona who could identify themselves with the Seaser. The Lady is one of them. On another forum I’ll go deeper into this marketing technique and the other persona Lonc uses.
About Lonc
Lonc or Lonc, Living Products is a new furniture design label that also will be launched on June 3, 2010 by two Dutch dutch industrial designers Rogier Waaijer and Bartel Hulst. I’m sure you will see more of them in the future.
Introducing the Chairchez La Femme Category
At the occasion of this post I’ve introduced another category for this blog. One that researches the relation between chair marketing and a beautiful lady, sometimes scantly dressed…much better than other possible names…I’ll go back into the archives and tag a couple of old posts so that the category gets a meaning.
