Gem Chair by Brian Dreesman

What better design to open a new week on Chair Blog with than this Gem of a Chair by Brian Dreesman? A Gem in many respects, the eye catcher being that it is a new approach to chair design not seen before in the over 3,000 chairs we have featured by now.

I have a feeling Brian has a Dutch or German ancestry. Not only by his name, but also because I see some early 20ieth century design parallels in this chair. Strait lines, no curves was typically what Berlage prior to De Stijl and Rietveld as member of De Stijl propagated.

In addition this seems a comfy chair and comfy was not typically something those famous early 20ieth century chairs stood out by.

Brian is a Studio Artist, recently graduated from Iowa State University. He found inspiration for this chair by the way gem stones are set in jewelry.

This is what I would call De Stijl 21st Century!

Fifty Outdoor Chair by Dögg and Arnved Design – 2012 IMM Cologne (15)

Found the Fifty Outdoor Easy Chair by Islandic designers Dögg Gudmundsdottir and Rikke Rützou Arnved at the 2012 IMM Cologne booth of Ligne Roset. They are based in Denmark

Based in Copenhagen, Icelandic designer Dögg Guðmundsdóttir studied industrial design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. She continued her glass, product and graphic design studies at the Danish Design School and received her master’s degree in design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen with a focus on design management with sustainable innovation and new strategies for large and small producers.

Many of her designs are akin to functional sculptures or pieces of art, while others are part of a collection. The spare language of her style reflects her ability to conceive products with streamlined Scandinavian originality. The working fields range from one off items, graphic, industrial- and furniture design to design management, consulting, producing and teaching.

RÆTUR = ROOTS

Dögg returns to her Icelandic roots for her newest designs. Inspired by mountains, trees, bays, cracked ice and dried sand, this series explores asymmetrical folded forms using aluminum, metal and oak. The collection is first full product line produced under Dögg Design’s own label. See SHOP

Among the companies Dögg has designed for are Ligne Roset and Christofle in France, Norr 11 in Denmark, B-sweden and Sólóhúsgögn in Iceland.
