Sometimes when I’m looking around me I see a lot of crazy ideas, and peoples with strange tastes. Today I’m going to present a piece of furniture that is from this category …unusual and wired. The Hand & Foot Chair is a fabulous sculptural piece signed Pedro Friedeberg chair dating to the 1960’s. From a sculptural point of view this chair is really amazing, but I don’t see to many people having something like this in their homes. What do you think ? – Via

Last month we presented The Fish Tail Chair designed by Asad Firdosy, and today he sent us his new project called “The Asymmetric Chair”. The chair handmade in teak & leather is an experiment to evoke emotions that emerge in these modern times of straight line mass productible furniture. In this chair Asad Firdosy tried to bring together two beautiful styles of the past “The Colonial & The Art Craft”. He called it an Asymmetric chair because when he looks at the chair it reminds him of the a person with two facial expressions on one face. Its like a half happy & half sad face. This piece of furniture is a little bit unusual, but in this world there are a lot of people with all kind of tastes.

A few days ago architect Asad Firdosy sent us a few pieces of furniture to take a look, and from these pieces we selected the Fish Tail Chair, and here are a few words about this product from Asad : “When I designed this chair all I wanted to create a statement in wood and upholstery. I took small pieces of wood and started putting it together as we take words and put them together to form a sentence. Every sentence depicts a thought, we remove one word and the meaning of the sentence changes. Likewise is this chair that resembles the tail of a fish but is a sentence written in wood & upholstery emanating the purity of form and the simplicity of the language it’s made in.”

I remember those hand-made chairs from my childhood, but what you’re seeing above is simlpy incredible. Dubbed the Sea-Urchin Chair, it was hand-made built by Oooms Studio and Dutch designer Rachel van Outvorst, who used 8000 cable ties to come up with that unique shape. The chair which hangs from above, sure looks comfortable and would make the perfect place to blog about furniture during those cold winter days. Not sure if that thing is for sale, but what I know is that many be interested in one of these. – via DecoJournal

Personally I don’t consider this a design, for me this is just something considered a design and made by someone who was very bored. The cabbage chair is created by peeling away the layers of a roll of pleated paper one layer at a time. The designer Nendo made this chair for the XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake, where he asked them to make furniture out of the pleated paper that is produced in mass amounts during the process of making pleated fabric, and usually abandoned as an unwanted by-product. Nendo’s solution to his challenge transformed a roll of pleated paper into a small chair that appears naturally as you peel away its outside layers, one layer at a time.

The chair has no internal structure, no screws or nails, and could be eventually produced so that it gets shipped as one easy roll for the customer to peel back and use at home. I don’t recommend buying useless stuff like these, but I’ve posted about this chair to see what other people from around the world think, and create.
