• Do take a seat

    This chair is called the ‘Cut Chair’, and it’s the latest work of designer Peter Bristol’s wonderfully twisted imagination. A reinforced beam anchored to a plate beneath the rug stabilizes the cantilevered seat while three cleverly placed dismembered legs give the illusion that the chair has just been magically sliced apart.

    ’100 Chairs in 100 days’ is a project  by Martino Gamper, that involved collecting discarded chairs from London streets (or more frequently, friends’ homes) over a period of two years, then spending 100 days reconfiguring the design of each one, in an attempt to transform its character and/or the way it functions. Gampers intention is to investigate the potential for creating useful new designs by blending together stylistic or structural elements of existing chair types.

    The Desile Chair is constructed of bamboo, folds completely flat in two places and measures just 0.8 inches when stored.

    Uros Vitas devises an easy chair that would roll-up so you can take it and use it at a picnic, festival or just when you want to have a nice sit down. The Chair is made from wood with a synthetic elastomer frame and can support the weight of an adult and also roll up for portability.
