10 Statement Chairs That Redefine Your Space
From sculptural silhouettes to bold materials, today’s standout seating designs are anything but ordinary. Whether you’re after a statement piece or a cozy spot to lounge, these 10 steatings are sure to change your space in style.
Everyday Comfort
The Pala chair from Artifort is a new take on the upholstered chair. Created by Italian designer Luca Nichetto, it follows the shape of the human body and looks like once you’re seated, it will help a full day of tension — both physical and mental — melt away. The pedestal design is fully upholstered and the ottoman has similar design lines.
High-Backed Silhouette
High-backed chairs are a supremely comfortable type of chair and with more time spent working from home, this Zuma chair from Artifort could transform your workday. Tall and comfortable with clean, modern lines, the Zuma will add a refined air to any office setting. The metal base swivels and adjusts and the style is available in either a Lounge or Conference version.
Modern-Day Bean Bags
Beanbag popularity swept the globe way back in the 1970s but the versatile seat for kids and adults alike. The tetrahedron shape is modern and the treated cotton fabric repels dirt. The company says that the chair is filled with a mix of materials that guarantees it will maintain its shape.
Relaxed Silhouettes
Upholstered chairs that are traditionally done have a bit of a “straight-laced” vibe, so if you want something super casual and comfy, check out the Lab XL Low from Inno of Finland. The clean lines of the wooden frame have a Scandinavian feel that’s topped with well-stuffed, pillow-like cushions for the seat and back.
Stylish and Stackable
There once was a day when the old-fashioned folding chairs were your only option for extra seating when guests and family came to visit, but thank goodness that’s not the case anymore. The Remo Chair from Plank, designed by Konstantin Grcic, is an eminently stylish and durable chair that is also stackable.
Purely Plastic
Indoors or out, the Myto chair from Planck is a super useful and colorful seating option. Created by designer Konstantin Grcic, it is made entirely from plastic, which means it’s durable, weather-resistant and care-free. The cantilevered design gives it a funky vibe that really attracts attention.
Mid-Century Modern Icon
Futuristic Vibe
Add the futuristic Chair_One to your decor and you’ll add more than just an out-of-this-world design. Created by Konstantin Grcic and presented by Magis Design, this chair is eye-popping for a few reasons. Of course, the shape of the die-cast aluminum seat is the main one, but also the concrete base and neon colors accenting the swivel mechanism and the bottom pad.
Four-Legged Futurism
For a touch of the futuristic but in a form more suitable for dining, Chair_One also comes in a version with four legs. Grcic’s design is made from the same die-cast aluminum seat that is treated with sputtered fluorinated titanium and painted in polyester powder. The legs are made from anodized or painted aluminum.
All About the Sling
The swing-shaped seat in the Dartagnan Chair by Toni Grilo is surprising but ideal for emphasizing the top curve that defines the silhouette. Presented by Haymann Editions, the proportions and angles are described “as accurate as the blade of the famous Musketeer.” The frame is made from solid ash that comes in any one of six different finishes. The leather sling seat is available in four different types of leather.
