Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
The above armchair was designed in 1903 by Kolomon Moser for a young couple, Eisler vo Terramare, for the Breakfast Room. Thuja, Satinwood veneer and metal feet.
I took the photo at the Leopold Museum in Vienna in 2012.
When I published this post with the photo below I found out that it was a double of a prior post.
Was sold by Los Angeles Based Szalon which I found via 1stdibs.
I’ve featured the Slow Chair of the Bouroullec Brothers several times, but have visited Vitra some time ago and made this photo myself.
Are sought after objects.
The one from the photo was sold at Sotheby’s for $ 6,250 on March 6, 2014
“Arizona Biltmore Hotel, Phoenix, Arizona,” The Architectural Record, July 1929, p. 37 (showing the chair model in one of the hotel’s five-room suites)
Earlier, in 2009 Sotheby’s tried to auction a red one to no avail. On 1stdibs there is a red one for sale.
Modernism Gallery calls the white high back a streamline chair, but that seems wrong.
The Treadway Toomey auction partnership had a settee on sale in 2013 where it was sold for $5,937.50.
Happy Birthday Arne Jacobsen / The Egg chair is one of Jacobsen’s most popular designs.
Hendrik Petrus Berlage didn’t like curves. In his younger years he tried to avoid curves as much as possible especially in his furniture design. This sideview of one of his later armchairs shows he is on the verge of lifting the curve ban. Also his way of constructing the declining back without having to bend the back shows here in a particular way.
