There’s No Need Ever To Get Up
A chair should ultimately be functional, inviting and comfortable. But it can also be a beautiful work of art. At the latest Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka unveiled for Moroso his simple yet stunning Bouquet Chair, which “blooms” on a slim chrome stem with “petals” made of individually sewn fabric squares (price unavailablemoroso.it). To take a seat in the Fantasy Fantasy Chair by New Zealand designer Phil Cuttance is to be transported into a world of mythical creatures and fantastical human forms. 1The large, boxy piece is covered with fabric illustrated by artist Jared Kahi, who created the images using an inkjet textile printer ($1,590; philcuttance.com). The Lathe Chair V by Sebastian Brajkovie features a hand embroidered, rainbow-shaped backrest, which gives the impression of a chair in motion, 2on the verge of tipping over ($29,160; cwgdesign. com). It’s best to take it sitting down.
