This is one of the coolest pieces of furniture I have seen in a while.
Armchair, Gerald Summers, 1934
The humble, functional, and sometimes statement making chair gets its own show, “Chairvolution” from now Ā until Nov. 28 at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Ā I would definitely attend this exhibit if I were in the area.
I never thought of a chair as being iconic and a piece of art in and of itself. Ā But as we continue to build up our home and invest in interesting pieces, I realize a chair can really set the mood of a room and make it pop. Ā Here are some really cool designs:
Cross check armchair,Ā Frank Gehry, 1992
Womb Chair, Aero Saarinen (totally on our wish list though I don’t know if it’s in the show!)
If you go to the show, tell us how it is! Ā Do you have any chairs on your wish list?
Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair, the Womb chair(pictured), Eames chair, Lignet Rosette Pop Chair… I really love the modern classics:-)
love the frank gehry chair š
Those are so cool! I’m lovin the last one
Cute seats! Like the last one the most!
These are so cool, I want some new chairs!
Love that blue one! Looks super comfy!
I absolutely love the last one, and the Gehry. Haha, I spend so much of my time in chairs, for better or worse, they might as well look this good š
nice chair!

@Stacey – I almost forgot about the egg chair! Great, great piece!
The cross check armchair is absolutely brilliant. <3
Hey, so funny you said I should come and check up on this. My whole family was in the furniture business when I grew up. When I in the future start my own little Gallery I am actually planing to sell one of a kind of furniture. Great picks!
The Saarinen chair was actually designed for Florence Knoll to make a chair to curl up in (I think she was pregnant) therefore the name “Womb”.
My husband gave this to chair to me when I was pregnant with my first son and I must say I will never ever get rid of it! The best most comfortable chair:) And it looks fantastic as well.
Thank you, for a little morning inspiration!
