Chairvertizing with Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s Fragile Chair

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac

Fragile Chair by JC de Castelbajac

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (1949) is a French artist, couturier (fashion designer) and designer. As couturier he is often referred to as JC de Castelbajac. He has some DaDa Background and is now venturing into chairs. If I see it correctly, this see through acrylic model could be well fitted for chairvertizing if only you could slide your own poster or photo into the sides, the seating and/or the back, but I’m not sure I see it correctly. The first chair shown is clearly influenced by patterns found at the Dutch De Stijl Group (Pieter Mondrian for instance).

I found it at Behind the Curtains who found it at Gallery Tom Tomas

Sexy ‘Naked’ Lounge Chair d’Amore – by Rusell Grigg

I overlooked a comment to my About page.
While installing the new Thesis theme it drew my attention again.

Thanks for the great collection of amazing chairs. I am a new designer and passionate about chairs in particular. I wanted to add one of my own, my very first piece called Chez Banc d’Amore. Check it out at: Chez Banc [Ed: Site disappeared since]. It has just been selected for inclusion at the “young designers fair” at Interieur 08 in Kortrijk, Belgium. I am extremely honoured to be the first Australian designer invited to attend the young designers fair.
I look forward to watching this space in future.
Best regards

Sorry Russell, sometimes things need time. Hope this post makes good for the omission.

Here you see Russell on his chair with black leather cover. It shows the dimensions and demonstrates it can easily function as a love seat for two.

About The Naked Lounge Chair d’Amore
The aircraft grade single sheet acrylic chair is available in a translucent version which to me is the most “naked”, but also in several colors including solid black. The chair is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Covers for indoors and outdoors are available in all varieties including a Union Jack.

Pyramid Chair by Benjamin Shine

pyramid-chair-by-benjamin-shine-03

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.

ChairMAN Chair

ChairMAN Chair

Yes! Another designer who understands the working of a Blog.

British designer Benjamin Shine informed me via e-mail he has developed the ChairMAN chair.

Constructed from 25mm thick acrylic, ChairMAN aims to playfully demonstrate the relationship between a chair and a man, whereby the chair’s role as an object in which to sit, becomes visually interpreted through the literal and surreal form of a figure sitting, slumped back and relaxed.

ChairMAN was launched during London Design Week at the British fashion house, Aquascutum on Regent Street, where it is currently being exhibited. Available as a limited-edition series in a range of colors, Benjamin is now looking to reproduce the chair for mass market with a suitable distributor following current interest and demand.

Thanks and success Benjamin! May your chair designs shine:-)
P.S. How come you have your studio Down Under?
