Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
At Established and Sons, Baas launched his second collaboration with the glamorous English design label. Entitled ‘Standard Unique’, his new hand-made chairs explore the idea of creating variations within a mass produced context. Using the basis of an archetypal Dutch chair, Baas literally drew five versions, each composed of 16 components. By interchanging the different parts, the combinations of the elements allow each chair to unique every time.

Well, the chair prototype here (Prophets & Penitents). It’s the protoype of THIS chair, actually it’s a test model from 2004/2005, so before the prototype. It was commissioned by Hans Lensvelt who wanted a chair with a wooden shell and metal frame. For me, the best example of this type of chair is Arne Jacobsen’s butterfly chair, and we wanted to add something to it. We talked about this chair this, this chair that so in the end, we named it THIS chair. This is the test model to check the comfort.

The colorful Atlas Bench by Giorgio Biscaro via Contemporist and Designboom
Giorgio Biscaro’s inspiration to create the Atlas bench came by noticing that since many pubs and bars in Europe no longer allow smokers to smoke inside, they’re all outside on the street with nowhere to sit, although they can often be seen sitting on the front of parked cars.
