Simply Scandinavian

Ah, the wishbone chair. Otherwise known as the Y chair or the CH24 chair. This was designed by Hans Wegner in 1950 and is one of his most popular pieces. I love it’s Scandinavian organic simplicity. My favourite is this chair paired with an old harvest table. OH YEAH. A bit of Wishbone chair porn for your enjoyment.

Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg Chair in 1958 for the lobby and reception areas at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The Egg Chair continues to be one of Arne Jacobsen’s most popular designs, mixing organic forms along with comfort. Love it, covet it, so want it!!

Just bought these little beauties for $40 AUS for the 4. Thats about $34 US. Shame that they weren’t all the same but at $10 AUS a chair who cares. A local designer was having a showroom sale and these were buried down the back. Brought them out into the light and they were mine. Now I just have to get them home. Thinking lacquered chartreuse with patterned navy and white cushions. Three for my patio area in the courtyard and one in the bathroom maybe. Also scored 10 metres of outdoor UV resistant upholstery in a thin navy stripe on the roll for $200 and he threw in a lovely jade and bone calligraphy brush for $10. I love Saturdays.

I found these photos a couple of years ago when I was searching for ideas for a tattoo as a tribute to my grandmother. I’ve been thinking about getting another tattoo…and these tattoos by Nick Baxter suddenly popped into my head (although I would not get chairs tattooed on me – too weird). These are so well done it’s incredible. The proud owner of these tattoos is a furniture design major. Go figure.

It has been a while since I’ve done a chair post. So, here is some chair porn to keep your chair fetishes in line.
