Chair (1902)

wood, painted and gilt vellum, copper

by Carlo BUGATTI

 



Really like those curves of this chair, organic form but still fully function as a chair.

This is one of the chairs that i'm quite interested in. Combination of metal frame and black leather brings up elegant look, the sit, back rest and arm rest look like floating , especially arm rests look almost invisible in some angles.

Again, excellent ergonomic organic design.

Hammock Chair- PK 24 (1965)

Designed by Poul Kjaerholm

Another favourite in the collection. Materiality using man-made light, elegant metal frame (again..) combine with natural material which is ratten. Materiality and designed form deliver a warm, relaxing feeling, welcome everyone to sit (lay) on. The chair is designed full of details. The curve which ergonomically serves as back rest and sit, has wonderfully designed to stretch and hung over without any supporters at an end.
