Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
T0 continu my metro station seating series: Recently I’ve visited Madrid. Contrary to Paris where there are several models and several colors, in Madrid I’ve only noticed one model, a stainless steel one. Not so much fit for my Northern European posture…..but at least you can lye down here.
Design Milk reminds us it was National Hammock Day in the US yesterday – and indeed, what could be a better way to celebrate than spend it lounging in a hammock? Especially if it’s one of the La Seora luxurious creations.
Their Classic Version is an International award winning design carefully crafted using the highest quality marine plywood and stainless steel. The hammock is designed to count in the shape of your body allowing you to “relax in a correct posture without slouching, unlike conventional hammocks with net and fabric do, so you can relax in perfect comfort”. And there’s even Alpine Version, in case it’s winter where you are and you still want to celebrate!
Dimensions: Length 310cm x Width 80cm (105cm with Stand)
Happy late Hammock Day, all!
Early prototype sculpted aluminum chair by architect and designer Robert Whitton circa 1989. Features a perforated aluminum seat with a rolling bar that moves for ease of entry into the chair. The swooping curved arms provide an incredible contrast to the angularity of the legs.
Via red modern furniture.

Yes! Another worthy find for the Chairchez La Femme category: This Spring Chair by Hong Kong based Jack of all Trades (Designer, Photographer and History Student) Kaisern Chen.
Formed entirely from single sheet of top grade spring stainless steel, Spring Chair presents a marvel in material application, function inspired by form.

The famous A56 armchair designed by Jean Pauchard in 1934 for Tolix is featured in the luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur‘s Spring/Summer-2011 campaign. The face of the newest collection is curvatious beauty Josephine de La Baume, a French actress and singer.
P.S. And just in case the photo above is not enough and you want to see the chair (or is it Josephine that you want to see more of?) in “action”, I suggest you check out the campaign at the AP website for some interesting jiggling gif pictures… I know you want to, so don’t be shy and click away! I won’t tell anyone you did.
