The Animal Chair Collection: Rhino by Maximo Riera
This incredibly artful Rhino Chair by Spanish designer Maximo Riera is part of his outstanding Animal Chair Collection that constitutes a diverse range of species, starting with the truly spectacular Octopus Chair, followed by Rhino and Walrus. Lion, Beetle and Whale are yet to be revealed to the public.
Each creation retains the animal’s natural vitality whilst being totally biologically accurate in their appearance. This collection is homage to these animals and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet, as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of nature in each living thing.

Chairs in Words
You have undoubtedly seen these chairs before but it’s unlikely you’ve ever seen them like this: the iconic chairs Barcelona by Mies van der Rohe and LC-2 by Le Corbusier get an artsy makeover in the form of art prints by Etsy user Sarah Schmid.
Gaugin style Chair painting by Vincent Van Gogh
In one of my early posts about chair paintings I featured the Van Gogh Chair. The image ranks number 1 in a search engines and creates some traffic here.
The Gaugin style chair by Van Gogh featured here is a result from the close collaboration both painters had during several years. Van Gogh wanted to demonstrate he was able to paint in the style of Gaugin.
It belongs to the Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum.
A Chair Is Still A Chair
A Chair Is Still A Chair is a work by Mark Gleberzon and is part of an ongoing series of chair-themed paintings presented at the Architectural Digest Home Show in New York this March.
Gleberzon explained that the first model he used for his chair series was a chair taken from his parents’ house about 20 years ago.
Mark says, “I realized over time that just as a chair is a supportive structure, my parents have been more than supportive of my being an artist. My chair paintings are thus my most personal series of work. This particular painting has been further enhanced with the lyrics to the song “A House Is Not A Home”, a classic written by Hal David with music by Burt Bacharach and most popularly sung by Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick and Luther Vandross”.
