Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Sina Sohrab finished this piece in his sophomore year at the Rhode Island School of Design. It’s two hand built school chairs that explore the relationships and connotations of an early childhood memory through their connection to one another.

James Sagui allowed me to feature his wonderful Until Next Year, Gone for the Season Project….Actually it is a set, a sculpted chair with a sculpted table. It deserves a place in our Chair Art category.
Currently he has his studio in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA.
Time to share some chairs by Hendrik Pieter Berlage. First photos of the main inspiration for Berlage’s chair designs: An Egyptian Chair.
Hendrik Petrus Berlage (1856-1934) is an important Dutch Architect who strongly believed in total concepts and therefor was involved in interior decoration and furniture design as well.
Currently there is a Berlage exposition at the The Hague City Museum of Modern Art (Gemeentemuseum Den Haag) with an overview of Berlage’s work, because of the celebration of the opening of the museum – which was a design of Berlage – 75 years ago. Luckily for the chair aficionados there are many chairs from him on display until February 27, 2011. Berlage studied in Zurich and also traveled in the USA in 1911. Therefore it is not strange that he was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Dutch designer Remi van Oers created this Reading Chair as a graduation project at the Design Academy of Eindhoven last year.

Stripe Chair by Joachim King, a Glasgow, Scotland, based furniture designer/builder.
It seems a reinterpretation in wood of the the classic Panton Chair.
