Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Rick Wrigley is widely acknowledged as a premiere furnituremaker and practitioner of marquetry. His furniture design is classic in style, calling upon traditional American proportions and lines, through sometimes incorporating unusual materials and details. In 1998, he fulfilled a commission for the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston of over three hundred new chairs for their concert hall.
British designer Benjamin Shine informed me via e-mail he has developed the Pyramid Chair series in response to the problems of discomfort felt when sitting on hard acrylic chairs and the resulting surface scratches that often occur on the seats over time.
Focusing on the humble cushion as the key visual form – a hollow transparent acrylic plynth exhibits the emerging cushion – which, in turn provides the overriding color and pattern of the chair at large. Grouped together, these Pyramid cushions ensure they remain center of attention as they appear to hover in the air.
Adaptable to any interior design scheme through a range of cushion covers and tailored designs, Pyramid offers a simple and versatile range of seating – whilst also being comfortable to sit on.
This organic wooden chair demonstrates the possibilities of designing with Reholz 3D veneer.
