Cappellini Proust Armchair by Alessandro Mendini

Filed under: Decor

Certainly not a chair for the conservatively decorated home this Cappellini Proust Armchair by Alessandro Mendini is a re-edition of the 1978 original and is an absolutely beautiful style statement. I can't take my off its endlessly flowing lines and the mesmerizing print that flows seamlessly over both frame and upholstery. Honestly it looks like something straight off the set of Alice in Wonderland.

The wooden frame is intricately carved and hand painted and is available in this light blue/grey/yellow color combination or black/green/red. Furniture might not be the most common gift idea for Christmas but this would be a great idea for a couple to give each other this holiday. $12,804

Clover by Ron Arad

Filed under: Decor

Some pieces of furniture just strike a person as darling, and this is one of them. Clover, designed by Ron Arad, is a small armchair sculpture in the shape of a four-leaf clover. Simple, pure, and fluid, this white polyurethane monobloc is manufactured by Driade in Italy. I usually complain when there's a lack of color choices, but I think this one is just perfect in white. It's described as organic and sensual, though I see it as more whimsical than anything -- how could you not feel like a Thumbelina character sitting in it?

The Lu Armachair

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

I'm used to commenting on designs that are either traditional, or modern, or a mix of both. This one, though, looks so modern it's almost futuristic. The Lu Armachair by Andrea Fino and Samantha Snidaro is unique, elegant, and a little organic even. It's made of a metallic structure filled with polyurethane and covered with Alcantara.

The two designers came together to found Sand & Birch Design in 2003, hoping to "re-interpret the concept of furnishings and to bring other meanings, other senses, and other lives to objects." I'd say the Lu achieves that purpose.

Fjord Armchair

Filed under: Decor

The Fjord Armchair is Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola's take on Arne Jacobsen's egg chair with two primary differences. The first, and most obvious, is that the Fjord chair has an asymmetrical back, presumably inspired by the curving and asymmetrical cliffs that make up fjords, though the similarity is most apparent if the chair is viewed at an angle. The second difference is that this chair has no real armrests, while the original has curving, low-slung ones. The chair is upholstered in red wool with a subtle white contrast stitching over injection molded foam cushioning. Price: $3,300.
