The Aquapub

Although here in the Midwest pool season is almost over, there are those lucky to be living in areas where they may just be getting started with the warm season or else it's toasty all year round. For those folks (or those of us in colder climates can put it on our wish list for next year) this Aquapub not only looks like bunches of fun, but it looks like unique fun your neighbors probably aren't offering. It's one thing to enjoy a Mai Tai by the pool, but what about in it? That can be a little awkward unless you have the Aquapub that seats six and comes complete with cup holders, 2 stashes, and an umbrella. It drains water, is a portable 90 lbs and is made of recycled materials. What more could you want?

Willow Chair

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

When I first heard the name Willow Chair I pictured a softer looking design with rounded or flowing shapes, but in reality the focus is on vertical and horizontal lines. Designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1903 for The Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow, it's inspired by his interest in Japanese design. You can see the shape of a tree formed by the checkers and straight lines of the chair back, and now available from Design Icons it's made of black lacquered ash with a cushion of leather, velvet, or cotton. £1155

AGK Ball Lounge Chair

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The AGK Ball lounge chair was designed by Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf and is part of a complete Agassi Graff Collection that includes furniture designs for indoors and out. Geometrical and appearing to "float on air" (I don't know if I would say that), this lounge chair is made of hand-shaped, welded, powder-coated, weather-resistant steel wire that is hand-wrapped in dark brown polypropel synthetic rattan. And the seat cushion, of course, also comes in weather-resistant fabric, shown here in cream. 45"x45"x35"

Darwin Wood Arm Chair

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Laura Ashley gets it right pretty often, but she definitely did something great with this effort. Overall I just love this Darwin Wood Arm Chair. It's a mix of retro and modern with a nice sense of earthiness, it's cheerful without being obnoxious, and it's surprisingly stylish considering in this print it has such a neutral color scheme. But it comes in 4 color options, is easy to clean and care for, and its curved wooden arms and puffy rounded seats make it more than just a little inviting -- it may become the favorite seat in the house. £525

The Pillow Chair

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The very name of this chair sounds appealing to me, and then to see it I can't help but notice an airy modern comfort in the way it's put together. Inspired by methods used in the fashion and textile industries, the Pillow Chair is formed of rubber plywood covered in leather sitting on top of white powder coated aluminum legs.

I was a little bummed to discover it probably isn't that soft -- I was kind of hoping it was a chair frame with a big square throw pillow on top. But regardless, it looks great. Very much something I'd expect to see in an artist's studio loft apartment. By Anna Thomas from Loyal Loot.

Corona Chair & Foot Stool

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The Corona chair and foot stool was designed by Poul M. Volther and was first released in 1964. It's futuristic "floating" design is not only artistic but also functional, created to give maximum support to the spinal column and ribs of the person sitting in it. When it was originally released the frame was made of solid oak, but today it's crafted in stainless steel with upholstered cushioned seats. The name "Corona" comes from the fact that the shapes of the chair are reminiscent of the phases the sun goes through during an eclipse, and those shapes can either be used as backrests or armrests, depending on your preference. Available in a variety of colors, you can have one for £549.

Harp Chair

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Now I haven't had the luxury of actually sitting in this chair, but based on the looks of it and the fact that it's largely made of string makes me think it's probably very comfortable. Designed by Jordan Hoveltskov in 1963 the harp chair is surprisingly simple: it's a lounge chair made of 2 pieces of solid wood (your choice of natural ash, black stained ash, American cherry, or natural oak) combined with string. That's it. It does look a little like a harp from certain angles, but don't get your hopes up -- it doesn't play music. $1128-$11250

The Loopty Loopy Loopita

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Try to say "Loopty Loopy Loopita" ten times fast -- it'll put your tongue in a twist that looks something like this chair I bet. Every so often a design puts off a vibe that's pure happiness, and to me this is one of those designs. The name obviously inspires laughter, but the chair itself looks like a big orange peel to me -- which inspires more laughter. What does it look like to you?

Designed by Victor Aleman, it's flexible as far as how many "loops" you want and how far apart they're spaced, and it's made from a single piece of red oak coated in high-density foam. Talk about interesting seating arrangement possibilities by mixing and matching several Loopty Loopy Loopitas together in the same room! Definitely not for the serious at heart.
