Frankie Arm Chair by Jordan Mozer


Frankie Arm Chair by Jordan Mozer

For his collaboration with Chef Michael Cordua on the Américas restaurant in River Oaks, Houston, Jordan Mozer wove together myriad influences to create a space reflective of the Pan-American flavors on the menu. To prepare for the project, Mozer and Cordúa read the magical realism works of preeminent Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. Inside the 300 seat restaurant, the furnishings told the story—room dividers crafted from felt used for cowboy hats separated the nine terraced dining areas, outfitted with coffee-colored leather seating. Above, chandeliers of hand-blown glass swathed in colored wool hung like giant rainforest blooms and bronze Pitcher Plant lamps lined the walls. Borrowing from urban street culture and pre-Columbian art, Mozer crafted an exhilarating space where Texan cowboys walked with ancient creatures, with every shape and material expressing a sense of vibrant movement. The designs offered here all come from the celebrated restaurant and capture Mozer’s singular creative vision.

Ferdinand Armchair by Åke Axelsson



Ferdinand Armchair by Åke Axelsson

Ferdinand offers comfortable extended sitting. The chair is based on the same theme as the Nomad chairs but, with its use of leather, is more exclusive. The construction is timeless. Chairs of this type were being made some 4 000 years ago. The turned wedges are the secret of the chair, like two wooden knots.

Ferdinand is manufactured by Gärsnäs in two models: one using light red beech while the oak variant is heavier and sturdier. The seat is made of natural or dark brown leather from Tärnsjö tannery in Upland.

Purchasers assemble the chairs themselves without having to use glue, screws or hammer. Ferdinand was awarded the 2013 ELLE Interior Chair Prize. In 2015 the chair won the year’s Lauritz Icon from the magazine Residence.

Ferdinand chairs are supplied in a flat pack direct from Gärsnäs.

EXO Club Chair by Alberto Colzani for Epònimo

EXO Club Chair by Alberto Colzani for Epònimo

EXO
The cow-hide in the Exo armchair is both surface and structure. Like in an insect’s exoskeleton there is no internal support structure. In both products the polyurethane body is covered with cow-hide panels that once sewn together become structural. The material of the shells and their surfaces are rich but the objects are extremely light. The slight tilt of the armchair’s base and the flexibility of the armrests allow for a seating style that follows the movements of the body. Available in 30 colours. Cow-hide shell, polyurethane core.

The Real Armchair by Adrian Pearsall


The Real Armchair by Adrian Pearsall

Finally I found it at Pamono, uhm not 100 % sure, because Pamono only attributed it to Adrian.
You see that if you put too much effort in a search which doesn’t deliver, it is better to turn away, do something else and come back. My last post was a month ago.
