Creative And Unusual Chair Designs

Hi...
Well today's post is on Chair...
Well you might be wondering why chairs ??? Hmmmm...Have you ever wondered the Chairs can be made Creative ?? Well, take yourself a break from those boring chairs and try any of these collections...

1. The Animal Chair

 



      Well perfectly designed and interesting concept to turn a chair into animal figurine..!!  (Designer: Maximo Riera). Just visit this link you may find still more interesting chairs of different animals. Well about the designer, Máximo Riera has been a practicing artist for
over thirty years. Whilst predominantly working in photography, painting and sculpture, he has also published a collection of poetry. Inspired by his travel and experiences through Europe and the Caribbean Islands, Máximo's vibrant use of colour and evocative attention to detail have been an inspiration which convey the meaning of his creations. His work also demonstrates a predominant influence from abstract expressionism and the Pop Art movements.

 2. The Cut Chair

 

  The “Cut Chair” has only one unbroken leg, and creates an optical illusion that it’s about to fall. However, a plate concealed by a thick carpet allows a robust cantilevered seat. (Designer: Peter Bristol). This is the portfolio site of designer Peter Bristol. His work blends form with function in uniquely appropriate ways making products that are inherently progressive and recognizable. Peter is currently creative director at Seattle-based product development consultancy Carbon Design Group. Parallel to his work at Carbon, Peter collaborates with design focused partners to create furniture, lighting and other goods.

3. Fish Rocking Chair

 

  Chair Made out of Fish ?? Yes....Designer has taken soft perishable sardines and found a way to use them as the building material in his most recent project. The individual components have been created through a process of lost wax casting, creating solid aluminum fish from their edible counterparts. (Designer: Tristan Cochrane). Tristan was born in the Highlands of Scotland and for 10 years ran commercial fishing enterprises before venturing into the world of design. After a short period studying cabinet making and furniture design at Bucks University near London he moved to Eindhoven, the Netherlands. For almost 3 years he worked for Studio Maarten Baas before settling in Barcelona in 2011 where he set up a multidiscipline studio with partner Paula Benvegnú, an art director from Argentina who spent 5 years working in advertising before moving to Europe. Currently based in London, he is involved in commissions, freelance work and development of his own projects.

4. Chair For Cafe

 

Well the design is very interesting...!! Well the handle can be used as a hook for draping a jacket or hanging a bag.                             




A cup of Chair, two Cups of chair...Coffee Chair makes you think of a cup of fragrant coffee. This unique design evokes the imagination that you drink a cup of coffee in a nice cafe. It is a storytelling design chair. 


Broke out from general design of symmetrical side chair and attached just a handle on one side of the back of a chair. 


It seems a coffee mug on a sauce silhouette when you look in front of the chair, Handle on the backrest is useful when moving the chair to a different location, and also when hanging a handbag or bag. Coffee Chair satisfies you both aspects, functional and decorative design, and certainly differentiates with other chairs, therefore can be used in cafes, restaurants, design companies and etc.

5. Beautiful Bloom Chair

 

 The Bloom is handmade of microfiber stitched over a resin top with a steel base. Inspired by the graceful blossom of a flower, this lounge chair is sculpted by hundreds of fine running stitches radiating from the center of the seat creating a subtle textural feel.(Designer: Kenneth Cobonpue).
