Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Was designed in 2013, but I couldn’t find decent photo’s until Marcel Wanders produced some one offs or personal editions for his solo exhibition in the prestigious Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum for Modern Art from January till June this year.
Will it beat the Supper Legerra with its weight of approximately 800 grams?
It reminds me of Marcel’s breakthrough Knotted Chair of 1996.
It is inspired by work of Hester Oelermans.
Is a limited edition of 5 by NYC based Craig Van Den Brulle
These vintage over-sized style chair earrings with diamante embellishment by Karl Lagerfeld circa ’80s are part of Susan Caplan’s collection and are available at Asos. Gotta love how convincing they are, I almost want to sit down!
While we’re at the subject of gold, let me also share this little beauty – a mini version of a timeless classic, Panton chair, in, you guessed it, gold! Limited to only 500 pieces, the chair was made to celebrate the opening of the Panton Chair exhibition at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2009. The chair comes in a 1/6th scale to the original.

Golden Chair by Fredrik Mattson is a 24 carat gold covered version of his TBS chair, design inspired by Mattson’s ‘Golden Chair’ award. Simple, but definitely makes a statement!
