Fresh Chair by Piet Bogaards

I like to introduce the Fresh Chair by Dutch designer Piet Bogaards to you.

Piet is a prolific chair designer located in The Hague, the city from where I blog.

The inspiration for this chair was Piet’s barber. He had a chair that by flipping the seat provided for a fresh seat for every new customer. “Nobody likes to take a warm seat that was occupied by somebody else” according to Piet.

Update
The fresh seat priciple can also be found at the Rolling Bench

Seater Cabinet by Kiki van Eijk

The Seater Cabinet by Dutch designer Kiki van Eijk

can be used as storage, but also as a seater; inspired on historical pieces with a multiple function. This piece of furniture with a ceramic bucket and blanket symbolizes to the habit of peeling potatoes and shrimps at home and repairing fishing nets outdoors. The still life on the ceramic piece of cloth shows a women peeling potatoes with a bucket. With it’s soft colored tulip wood combined with white soft ceramic drawers topped with matte gold glaze this really shows a soft and very romantic side of the history of the Dutch Zuiderzee That currently is known as the sweet-water lake IJsselmeer.

Closed "Take a Seat" by Darris Hamroun

Designer Darris Hamroun takes the sentence “inspired by a book” seriously. By putting oak boards, steel hinges, and a touch of physics all together, the “Take a seat” seat is a book that unfolds itself into a small stool. Check out this 27-second video on Vimeo displaying how this elegantly simply and functional design works.
