Retro Vegas seems to have a nice original Mart Stam cantilever chair.

Kaarsrecht Kruk by Pascal Smelik
For his exam industrial design at the Utrecht School of the Arts young Dutch industrial designer Pascal Smelik poured wax in a container with water. Then he replaced the water by gypsum, let the wax drain out after heating it and poured aluminum into it.
A candle is made of wax hence the Dutch name Kaarsrecht which means as much as upright, a bit ironic of course.

Frankenstein Chair by Swiss Strala (T.M. Schmid)
T.M. Schmid of the Swiss design studio Strala asked me per e-mail to feature his Frankenstein Chair. With pleasure! … I’m glad T.M. Schmid now does recognize that the former name of this chair, M Chair, that I suggested to change into Mashed Up Chair, was in dire need of a better descriptive kind of name:-)
As this blog is becoming more and more a blog about chair designers, I’ve added a photo of Mr T.M. Schmid himself. And it made me think of a new category for this blog : recombined chair
