Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Cleaning up and talking of concrete…I had these photos of a Concrete Element Bench on my computer for ages. I pinched them somewhere from a German site, hence they are coined Sitz Beton, which means as much as concrete to sit on.
3,750 kg of concrete to sit on royally…
They are from …. Stizbeton.de
Found the chair at janjanderad.com
Not sure whether this is a mere rendering or a finished product, but it is interesting: Jacek says:
The idea was to create a seating device with a soft and organic form. The main wooden part of this chair is not just added to the construction of legs… it is plaited around it. this way when I combine wood with steel I don’t use any kind of screws etc. so I don’t break the inner construction of wood.
I spotted Jacek Galek at the portfolios part of Coroflot.
He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznañ (Poland).
Currently he’s working as an exhibition designer for hansgrohe, as an assistant in a design studio and at the Academy of Fine Arts.
A clever designer, Danilo Calvache: He has his own blog and presents a new chair: Jö Chair
A new design of chair, looking at an element as simple and elegant everyday. Designed to give a contemporary flair to modern kitchens.
Not only in a blue mood but also in a Chinese design mood…
Via Antique Spider [ed:discontinues since posting] I found this traditional Chinese Wedding Chair.
The bride was taken to her husband’s home sitting on the chair right after the wedding celebrations. It was tradition. Her feet were bound as was the custom.
