ShareThe Fatboy® chair is so fun! It looks like the perfect seat for your student to get comfortable in (and get his or her homework done).
Let’s get nostalgic for a quick second. Remember how popular the bean bag chair once was? I loved studying in that thing. Ah. Memories.
ShareMedici is a modern interpretation of the familiar Adirondack chair. Designed by Konstantin Grcic for Mattiazzi and distributed by Herman Miller Collection, there are both indoor and outdoor versions available.
Besides their attractive contemporary style, they look plain ‘ol comfortable.
ShareEven though it resembles a kitchen strainer, 4Grammy was the first to guess correctly. The fly chair by Zanotta is a versatile furniture piece because of its clear carbon frame and quota fabric. I picture it sitting in an outdoor space or an urban loft because of its futuristic look. What room in your home would you place the chair in?
Check back next Wednesday to guess at a new item.
ShareYou guys, check out the Moooi Gothic Modern Chair from Studio Job.
It’s a bright, colorful take on a practically medieval design, sure, but I love how it reminds me of Legos! Don’t you want to try and snap them together?
What do you think about this candy colored take on a classic gothic design?
ShareBRIANA: Lemme run this one past you. Pedro Friedeberg’s iconic “Hand-Chair”: Crazy cool or just plain crazy?
LEANNE: I want a set of eight of these around a table shaped like washboard abs.
BRIANA: Washboard abs table sold separately!
CAMILLE: Tee hee! Meh, I’m not a fan of furniture that’s giving me the finger.
FARIMA: I agree with Camille! I think it’s hard to match this chair with any design style.
KAYLA: For some reason this chair reminds me of Legends of the Hidden Temple. (Clearly I’m a child of the ’90s.)
But, I’m just dying to sit in it, just not necessarily in my own home. Maybe around Leanne’s abs table?
ABBI: Might be worth it to have one around, just for the joke factor. My friend just moved into a new rental house and the previous owners left a hand chair in one of the bathrooms. When first-time visitors head towards that room, she says, “Let me know if you need a hand in there.” [insert groan here]
LILI: There’s a real Beetlejuice vibe to these hand chairs that I can’t get past. Like on a dark and stormy night, if someone whispers the wrong word three times they’re going to come to life and trap their occupants.
CAMILLE: Yeah, that sounds about right. They also remind me a little too much of King Kong.
BRIANA: Ooh, good call! I’m still undecided, because while I think people like Kelly Wearstler handle this kind of sculptural statement well, and I love the hand chair in Emily Henderson’s office (Marianne, your pin reminded me of this)…
I’m worried I could never stop thinking about the hand chair on Arrested Development enough to take it seriously if I had one.
JESSICA: I need some more nap-based functionality out of my creepy hand chair.
MARIANNE: Whew, I’m late to this party. Do I even need to say that I would totally put one of these in my house?
You’ve heard what we think, now we’re handing it over to you…
ShareI loved reading all your guesses (especially Edwin’s toilet answer). Dianne and Beth A. are both right with their storage and chair answers. The HGTV editors ran across this exceptional piece by Al-Hamad Design at ICFF this year. The Little Oyster functions as a side table, chair and storage unit. Lifting the tabletop reveals a chair, while lifting the seat cushion opens up to a lighted storage unit — making it a perfect piece for you city dwellers.
Check back next Wednesday to guess a new mystery item.
SharePucker up! It’s International Kissing Day, and we’re celebrating by curling up with these sexy designer lip sofas.
Heller Bocca sofa by Studio 65
The sofas draw inspiration from the 1937 original designed by none other than Salvador Dalí, modeling it from the lips of famous 1930′s actress Mae West. Since then, several designers have hopped on the lip train to create these red hot pieces.
The Kiss Chair by Velichko Velikov
Roxanne by Sand & Birch
Which sofa do you want to plant a big one on?
ShareThe main attraction of the Kartell Masters Chair is its curvaceous, sexy figure. Designers Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet fused three contemporary designs — the series 7 Chair by Arne Jacobsen, the Tulip Armchair by Eero Saarinen and the Eiffel Chair by Charles Eames to create an eye-catching chair. The best part? The comfy chair is lightweight and can be used indoors or out. Time to throw an outdoor soiree!
ShareLet’s do a little furniture math, shall we? (Relax, there won’t be a test.) Marimekko + the lines of this Dering Hall find ÷ time = ??? Give up? The answer is this quirky vintage settee from Coco House & Company I peeped on 1stdibs.
Its almost regal, throne-like shape made me recall the Muirfield bench, and who can resist such a playful fabric pattern? Plus, it has a vintage pedigree, which makes it doubly cool. I have to say, I think this settee is greater than the sum of its parts.
ShareI’m just a girl who cain’t say no to bold patterns and bright colors, but this West Elm chair by Brooklyn-based designer Paul Loebach is simplicity at its best.
The mod seat suits my taste perfectly, and the country legs are an unexpected twist. Even better, right now these chairs are on sale. Which makes it even more tempting for me to buy one or two in support of my designer “neighbor.” (Brooklyn, represent!)
