Aluminum Chair

Vitra Charles and Ray Eames designed and developed the Aluminum Chair in 1958 in the private residence of an art collector in Colombus in the United States. To change from the usual hull, the couple imagined a fabric or leather panel between two lateral aluminum uprights, thus obtaining a flexible but firm seat. Source: Vitra

The Saarinen Executive Chair

Knoll Created in 1950 by Eero Saarinen, the Executive Chair transformed the traditional executive chair with its sculptural shape and very modern finish. Source: Knoll

The Gas Chair

Oxford chair

Fritz Hansen The original version of the Oxford chair was designed for teachers at Collège Sainte-Catherine in Oxford. The one nicknamed "the teacher's chair" allowed Arne Jacobsen to receive an honorary doctorate from the prestigious school. Not bad is not it ? Source: Fritz Hansen

The Drop Chair

Fritz Hansen Also designed by Arne Jacobsen for the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Drop Chair (which looks like a small drop of water) is full of personality. We love it! Source: Fritz Hansen
