The Leaf is a rocking chair designed by the UK based Lime Studio. The construction is basically made out of two pieces of curved birch plywood padded with a high density cushion that’s wrapped in removable, washable fabric. How sweet is this? Simple, beautiful, comfortable and rocks you to sleep. I love you Leaf. I. Love. You.

Lounge chair was designed by the futuristic German industrial designer Luigi Colani in 1968. The shell is wrapped in quality fabric and nested in a chrome-plated steel frame. The organic form offers maxiumu comfort ”for both the young and the young at heart who like a dash of extravagance” (original text from ’68). ”The earth is round, all the heavenly bodies are round; they all move on round or elliptical orbits. This same image of circular globe-shaped mini worlds orbiting around each other follows us right down to the microcosmos. We are even aroused by round forms in species propagation related eroticism. Why should I join the straying mass who want to make everything angular?”
I’m starting to feel sorry for the new furniture designs because I’ve been neglecting them. This one is well worth the mention – the Lobster chair was designed by Lund & Paarmann for Verikon Furniture and it consists of laminated, bend wood structure with a walnut veneer at the back and stands on a swivel that is chrome-plated steel. The design goes hand in hand with another piece of furniture called Shelly. Both are, of course, manufactured in Denmark. Who would’ve thought!

Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg chair for the Copenhagen Radisson SAS hotel in 1958. There are very little objects that leave you speechless and if there ever was a chair that did just that, it has to be this one. The design is 50 years old but will never be outdated. The inspiration for The Egg is said to be the Womb chair by Eero Saarinen, which is amazing, but it seems like Jacobsen added a little flow to his creation that makes it so easy on the eye. To commemorate the occasion, Fritz Hansen, the chair manufacturer, is introducing 999 limited edition Golden Egg chairs with a bronze foot. They will be available in selected stores from February 1st. Oh Egg… Someday I’ll get you and we’ll spin around all day.

The Sacco seat by Zanotta is the first massproduced beanbag seat in the world. It is filled with expanded polystyrene pellets and, is after all those years, still in production. The great feature that makes this beanbag so comfortable is ” the functional ‘headrest’ area, where dislodged pellets condense to support the head when the chair is occupied.” It comes in different colors and materials.

I have no idea where these platforms are or who made them, but the whole thing looks great and is very practical. A good idea on how to make use of an otherwise rugged terrain.

The Westport chair was designed in 1905 by Thomas Lee of Westport, New York, for his family. The design is simple: a tilted backboard, an inclined seat and wide arms. You don’t need much more to come up with what is probably the most comfortable wooden chair in the world. Flawless. Designs like that always make me think that, indeed, it’s all been done before.

In 1957 the Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha designed the Paulistano armchair for the Paulistano Athletic Club in São Paulo. The simplicity of the design and the chair’s comfort puts him alongside the other modern classic furniture pieces. There are hardly 300 in the whole world and this year it became a part of the permanent collection at the MoMA. It was produced by Objekto and will be shown by their team at the International Furnishing Show in Cologne.
