for the love of chairs

i thought they were specifically for knitting (with a knitting machine), maybe that's how they were originally marketed or something

i thought they were for designers and drawing-board work. i had one for a while at work but i hated it. i found it encouraged a bad posture cos you're kind of forced to lean forward rather than learning to work more upright with a more centred core.

get your finger out and post your chairs franklin! i'm interested to see them.

i love chairs. i will try and post my wish list later.

ps. exactly the kind of chair i hate salvatorin! so un-comfy looking.

i'd quite like a sofa to go with my Ole Wanscher chair...

want want want want want -

Hans Wegner...

Arne Jacobsen...

Børge Mogensen...

Finn Juhl...

one of my favourites - Fabricius & Kastholm...

Ib Kofod-Larsen...

i'd be here all day with eames and all sorts of mid-century bent plywood chairs but i'll stop for now.

edit: to illustrate my arousment for the previous post, not to mock the poster.

hey jules i quite like these 50's U.S. school chairs and think it would look pretty cool with different colours. i've obviously no idea how comfy they'd be or how much they'll sell for..

thanks keltoi those are excellent but i need 8 and it looks like those are only 1 each. plus the shipping alone is more than my chair budget it is looking more and more like it is going to be these

also back to your nice post, is hans wegner not the ultimate chair guru or what? there are so many of his chairs that i want. the papa bear chair has been number 1 for years now and i need to win the lottery to support my chair habit.

yeah him and arne jacobson are amazing. dunno what was in the danish water back then but they really knew how to design some beautifully shaped chairs. and lights too! (the following by the very idm, poul henningsen)

only 5 ever made, 1 of these spirals sold for $307,000!

those jacobson remakes you're thinking about look good btw. get them til you can afford a full set of originals!

and nelson bubble lamps too

is it wrong to get turned on by a lampshade? if only £4000 seemed reasonable for this...

Our house growing up had one of these over the stairway. When I was 8 or 9 we replaced it, and I got to use it as a UFO toy. The house itself was actually a mashup of Frank Lloyd Wright designs created by a local architecture student, and built out of recycled materials in the 50's. Most of the upper level has slate floors made from old chalk boards.

works great for me. def helped me learn good posture
