Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Ploum Sofa by The Bourroullecs found at the IMM Cologne 2011 booth of Ligne Roset.
Twist Chair by Berlin based Stefan Heiliger for Tonon Italia. From aside I would say “Rietveld Zig Zag”, but then completely different. My camera found it somewhere at IMM Cologne 2011. Glad it did, because Stefan has so many more chairs that deserve our attention.
Flying Up Chair by Anna Babanina, found at the Russian St Petersburg’s ArtFuture design school booth at IMM Cologne 2011.
My camera found this chair by Mona Duyster which I’ve now coined Fluffy. It was in the booth of the 2011 IMM Cologne convention center where work from students of the Interior design Faculty of the University of Trier (Fach Hochschule Trier) was exhibited amongst rows of chairs that normally fill the convention center.
And what chair. Like a ballerina or real fashion model it proudly shows its fluffy upholstery.
An unmanned and minimal way of showing work of your students, but some credits at the booth would have been helpful, also because you don’t have to snatch away paper fliers….Well it all invites to a good old rant: Even the post at their own site doesn’t divulge much….Trier University could learn something from other universities to promote their students and alumni in this digital age…..I do know Trier dates back a long time..but hey we’re in the 21st century Ladies and Gentleman!
Only when I visited the Tecta booth at 2011 IMM Cologne, I realized Bauhaus founder and architect Walter Gropius had designed chairs as well. Here his F51 Chair and Sofa.
