And another happenstance moment. While on my quest to find a replacement of the Scheveningen Beach High Back Chair I find BD Barcelona and they feature the Showtime series by Jaime Hayon with this High Back Chair for indoor and outdoor use.

Wing Sound Chair by Grant and Mary Featherston
From my back burner: Wing Sound Chair by Grant and Mary Featherston, one of the first multi media chairs.
Modern Times: The untold story of modernism in Australia was an exhibition at the powerhouse museum in Sydney. It featured the Talking Chair, or Wing Sound Chair, designed by Grant and Mary Featherston during the mid 60’s. The chair was an icon of its time and consisted of built in speakers within its head rest. the shell was cast from an aluminium mould and made from polystyrene, fibreglass, foam, hardwood and covered in wool and vinyl. it was first manufactured and released by Aristoc industries in 1967 throughout australia, north america and asia
The Wing Sound Chair in the Australian Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal.
Currently Modern Times is on exhibition in the State Library of Queensland from August to November 2009.

Possible to revive the Scheveningen High Back Beach Chair Design?
In a post of my significant other blog I started a plea to revive the very snug cane High Back Beach Chair of Scheveningen. Up to the seventies there was almost no Dutch Beach without this type of chair. Northern Gemany Beaches still do frequently use another type of High Back Beach chair. It’s main features are protection against the wind and more privacy on the beach.
Just thought to enhance the reach of that plea by posting additional photo’s of the historic Dutch High Back Beach chair here.
Although I like this variation best as its curvy appearance is much more elegant.
Or am I wrong and is it already out there?
