Sticky Illusion

The Stuck chair gets its name from the visual trickery created by its unique construction of pieces that seem to “stick” in place. The form was achieved by deconstructing the archetypical chair and rearranging components to appear as though they are attached by an unseen gravitational force. The simple and minimal design consists of an oak seat and legs and just a single powder coated steel rod that forms the back rest, giving it potential for a variety of custom colors.

Ambidextrous Chair

If the name alone wasn’t a tip-off, just one look at the Kandinsky Chair would suggest that its striking form was inspired by the father of pure abstract painting, Wassily Kandinsky. The playful design plays with the user’s perception using altered points, line forms and most obviously a striking, mirrored reversal of the legs. Looks like something straight out of a Dr. Seuss book! Do want!

Wings of Steel

I love a design that makes you wonder, “what the heck am I looking at?!” Especially when it’s as pretty as this chair by Laurie Beckerman. The design is both fascinating and functional with a unique optical pattern that’s captivating from every angle. Though its aesthetic is light and delicate, the laser cut, black powder coated steel construction is super strong, perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

Deceptively Simple

The unique construction of the Ane stool gives the illusion of intricate complexity, but don’t be fooled… the multiple solid timber pieces are actually all of one shape positioned and cut in a dynamic way that makes them look significantly different. Individual pieces appear to float on its powder coated black or white steel frame, enhancing its striking aesthetic as well as its structural integrity.

Instrumental Inspiration

The modern Rope Stool takes inspiration from the most widely used drum in Korean traditional music, the janggu. The form of the slim waist drum is hinted in the hourglass shape of the structure. Free of adhesives and screws, the raw design is held together with tension created by just 3 ropes and a single dowel.

Stealthy Seating

A welcome addition to any home or aircraft hangar, this stealthy chair design by Mauro Fragiotta combines angular geometries and stackable functionality into one memorable seating solution. The monoblock injection molded chair is composed of ABS and nylon, making it suitable for both indoor or outdoor use. The dimensions and seating position were inspired by the Eames Plywood chair, but unlike the Eames, this sharp, lightweight design is easily nested in unlimited numbers, making it a great option for storable, extra seating.
