Furniture - Chair - CH24 - Wegner

CH24 Chair by Hans J. Wegner. Produced by Carl Hansen.

ch24

CH 24 was designed as far back as 1949 and is therefore the first of Wegner's chairs for Carl Hansen & Son. The Y-chair or The Wishbone Chair as it is often called due to the shape of the back, is a light chair and even being an armchair a relatively small piece of furniture. The curved hind legs and the semicircular top rail together with the elegant Y-back endows the chair with a gracious and welcoming air.

Furniture - Chair - Cherner - Norman Cherner

Cherner Chair by Norman Cherner. Produced by The Cherner Chair Company.

The 1958 molded plywood armchair by Norman Cherner a midcentury icon found in design collections worldwide is available to a new generation of furniture collectors. Reissued in exacting detail from the original drawings and molds, the armchair combines the best of both molded plywood and solid bent wood construction. Like the original, made entirely in the U.S.A.

Furniture - Chair - Planet - Dysthe

Chair Planet by Sven Ivar Dysthe. Manufacturer: Variér Furniture

Some seriously 60s looks and that's no coincidence - the Planet chair by Sven Ivar Dysthe was designed back in 1965. Designed as an elegant and functional armchair, it rotates as you'd expect, but it has something more - a patented mechanism that allows you to tilt the seat forwards and backwards. Complete freedom if you like.

Home - Accessories - Unikko - Maija Isola

Unikko fabric by Maija Islola. Produced by Marimekko.

Fabric designed by Maija Isola in 1964 to teach Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, a lesson after she had announced in public that no floral fabrics would be produced by Marimekko. Maija Isola blatantly ignored the mission statement and created not one, but a complete collection of iconic floral patterns. Unikko is available in a large range of colours, and new colourways have been created by Maija's daughter, Kristina Isola. The UNIKKO fabrics are made from 100% cotton, and the width of the fabric is 140cm.

Video - Designer Philippe Starck. Designer Philippe Starck - with no pretty slides behind him - spends 18 minutes reaching for the very roots of the question "Why design?" Along the way he drops brilliant insights into the human condition; listen carefully for one perfectly crystallized mantra for all of us, genius or not. Yet all this deep thought, he admits, is to aid in the design of a better toothbrush.

Lamp by Poul Henningsen. Produced by Louis Poulsen. The PH5 pendant is designed to hang low above a table while at the same time giving a moderate light to the surroundings. In Denmark you will see that approximately one in every two homes has a PH5 pendant. This is what PH wrote about this product: “After 33 years of more or less Christian behavior, I have converted to Islam - in my relation to the manufacturer of incandescent bulbs. For a whole lifetime I believed that consideration for the consumer and good sense would triumph but now I have become a fatalist. I accept fate and have, with Louis Poulsen’s permission, constructed a PH fixture in which you can put anything - glowworms, Christmas lights and 100 watt metal filament bulbs.

Ball Clock by George Nelson. Produced by Vitra. Designed in the 1940s and '50s, George Nelson's clocks were highly successful both as popular consumer products and icons of high design. One of the most original American designers, Nelson used pure color and bold graphic forms to make a statement still as compelling today as it was half a century ago. The timekeepers are diligently reproduced by the Vitra Design Museum.
