Chair from a solid wood with a handwoven seat

by Ionut Ciofu, posted in Sofa and Chair, on July 5th, 2012

More and more new things are heading towards new materials and techniques but still there are amazing brand new pieces that are made using traditional materials that look astonishing even in these modern times we’re living. To support my theory I bring to you these chairs made by the famous designer John Vogel.

He was inspired by the local woven and crafting techniques and decided to make something like a tribute to those fine crafts therefore making them even more appreciated and well known around the world. The marvelous wooden frame has a nice chocolate stain to conquer your from the first time you look at it. The round backrest assures a comfortable sensation along with probably the most important piece- the hand woven synthetic seat. This choice sounded more appealing because in that way the chairs are more durable, easy to clean and the aging process doesn’t affect them at all. The chair costs around 277 EUR and it measures 21”W x 21.5”D x 30.6”H.

Float Sofa

by Ionut Ciofu, posted in Sofa and Chair, on July 5th, 2012

Predictable or not Karim Rashid’s work is at least had to get. This new creation of his is called the Float Sofa and to be honest it doesn’t struck me as the guy’s best work. I don’t know about you folks but to me this sofa looks more like some kind of bacteria seen from a powerful microscope. A round unicellular organism that floats in a liquid surrounded by nothing what so ever.

For sure, I have no doubt that some people will get it and eventually like but not to me. With the asymmetry I could resonate at some deep level but not with the color scheme and most of all not with that particular brown tone. The design is quite simple and this generally consists an advantage. The multitude of choices here, with this sofa looks to me like a child’s play.

Even though watching a movie at home can’t be compared with the experience of being in a cinema, there are also advantages. One of them is the fact that you can sit comfortably in your sofa and watch the movie in a quiet environment with your family and friends. But in order to do that you first need to have a comfortable sofa.

This sofa has been specially designed for sitting in it and watching movies with your loved ones. It doesn’t have any futuristic functions such as a built-in refrigerator filled with cold soda and beer and it doesn’t feed you popcorn either. But what it can offer you is an incredible level of comfortable that can’t really be compared with anything else. This sofa can be purchased at the price of 924.75 euro. It’s a lounge sofa ready to offer you the comfort that you need while you’re watching a movie marathon or trilogy.

Steek Walnut Chair by Karim Rashid

by Simona Ganea, posted in Sofa and Chair, on July 3rd, 2012

Ever since the first chair made from a single sheet of plastic was designed it has become an obsessive element for every designer. There’s something about this type of furniture pieces that will always be intriguing and inspiring, regardless of how old the idea or the design is. And who better to come up with something innovative and unique by using that concept as a starting point then Karim Rashid. As usually, he came up with a simple, architectural design that impresses on multiple levels.

This is the Steek chair. It was designed by Karim Rashid for Artisan and it’s a part of the Steek collection that also includes a similar table based on the same concept. The chair features a single continuous line of varying thicknesses and the result is this very alluring silhouette.Steek is a walnut chair and, even though wood can be a solid and tough-looking material, it’s also a very malleable element that has a certain warmth to it that attenuates the rough essence it previously featured.

The limited edition Superleggera armchair

by Simona Ganea, posted in Sofa and Chair, on July 3rd, 2012

You might find this armchair odd because of its unusual shape. However, this design was not chosen simply because of its strangeness and ability to attract attention but mostly because it’s a very comfortable design. The armchair is called Superleggera and it was designed by Joe Colombo. Another surprising detail about it is the fact that it was originally designed in 1965.

This visionary piece of furniture is still perceived as modern and stylish even after all these years. It’s an advantage that timeless creations have. The armchair was designed for B-Line and it’s currently being produced in a limited edition. This makes it even more special. This unusual chair was designed for reading. It’s an ideal piece of furniture that allows the user to sit comfortably while reading a favorite book. It features an oil-varnished, curved multilayer walnut frame, the base for a very comfortable shape.

Cummulus Modular Sofa

by Ionut Ciofu, posted in Sofa and Chair, on July 3rd, 2012

Big spaces always have marvelous interior solutions, and I’m not just saying that because I like them but because they are indeed wonderful, not to mention that designers can let their mind explore all the possible ways of design. Big places have big living rooms; areas of richness and joy where the human eyes and other senses can be spoiled with various things starting from a high quality sound system and finishing with trendy carpets and sofas.

A fine example of such a treat for our senses is this couch. Especially designed for a large area with a youthful touch this sofa represents the main “attraction” in any living room. It can be used as it is here, in the first picture but also in various combinations spread around the entire space thanks to its modular design. The fabric is very strong and resistant but also delicate and pleasant to touch. The colors combination is very bold but also kind of elegant.
