The chair is made from polyurethane film which is commonly used as a packing material for precision instruments and products that are susceptible to vibration and shock. It has a very interesting feature: it;s able to return to its original state and it’s very flexible. When incorporated in a chair design it creates a very fun piece of furniture.

When used, it wraps and supports the user’s body like a hammock, giving him a very comfortable feeling. It’s definitely an interesting piece that will generate a lot of contrasting comments. It will certainly become the focal point of attention. Also because of it’s flexible nature, it can be easily packed and stored somewhere when it’s not used. This way you can save some space. Have fun and enjoy.

German gallery Helmrinderknecht has just opened Chairs&Fireworks, a solo show of Catalan designer Martí Guixé, exhibiting three new chairs from his ongoing ‘statement chairs” cycle, alongside a small collection of pieces about the “neglected subject of fireworks.”

Pictured above is Respect Cheap Furniture:

The monobloc plastic chair is a phenomenon, which has already attracted and inspired many designers and artists and in fact contains many criteria of good design: it is cheap, democratic, robust, reasonable in technical production and convenient. But the classical monobloc chair has a very bad reputation. Following his work “Stop Discrimination of Cheap Furniture” from 2004, Guixé moves a step ahead in the defense of the monobloc chairs and postulates “Respect Cheap Furniture”. The “Respect cheap furniture” chair will be availabe in a limited editon of 50.

Centaurus:

“Centaurus”, the third chair can be seen as a real designer chair. As designer chairs are often associated with the reputation and the person of the designer, Guixé’s “Centaurus” chair brings chair and designer as close together as possible: here the designer becomes an integral physical part of the chair; subject and object become one and build a “designer chair.” The “Centaurus” chair is available in a limited edition of 10.

Pyramid chair is modern chair design was created by C.K for the Canadian manufacturer Nienkämper. Pyramid, Karim Rashid´s newest lounge chair for Nienkämper, borrows a monumental form from ancient Egypt and stands it on its head. What´s the point? According to Rashid, an inverted pyramid reflects who he is and symbolizes his hopes for the shape of things to come. He describes himself as “an upside-down multicultural being” – someone who is “Canadian-Irish-English-Algerian-Egyptian-American, with some Italian education thrown in the mix.” In short, he´s a product of an increasingly cosmopolitan world, and as such, he believes it´s time to “turn nationalism and jingoism around and become one global paradise.”

In Milan the Swiss manufacturer Röthlisberger Collection presented a sofa and a chair in addition to the existing ‘Allumette’ table. The chair and the sofa are built according to the same principles as the table, using the statics of the traditional framework design. Here, forces and counter-forces interplay to absorb the load. Elegance and originality combine with stability. And because the wood of the Arura Vermelho tree is so hard, the designers were able to design a table which is intricate, airy and filigree.
