CH04 Houdini Side Chair and Chair with Armrest

!±8± CH04 Houdini Side Chair and Chair with Armrest

Bent into shape -- inspiration and material "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." This is one of the messages of the writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the creator of the renowned novella "The Little Prince". A message that aims at conveying that, above all, inspiration is needed in order to create something new. The history of design gives proof that the versatility of wood, when boldly interpreted and put to creative use, has often been the birth of a new form, such as the Thonet coffee house chair from the 1930s whose design became possible through a new production technique of bending wood. The chair CH04 Houdini by e15 is yet another expression of the design possibilities that emerge when wood as a material is reinterpreted and its shape is defined in the manufacturing process. This chair's proportions and inviting appearance too are intricately linked to the production method itself. Made from thin oak-veneered plywood, it is inspired by a technique hitherto used only in aeroplane model making. The basic shape of this chair is created by first bending two-dimensional plywood by hand around a complexly milled solid wood ring to form the back. In order to make the curved two-dimensional elements stay in position, the scale-like arrangement of the slabs is then glued to the base to produce the self-contained seat shell ...

Wassily Chair Review

!±8± Wassily Chair Review

The Wassily chair represents an amazing piece of furniture that was designed using a unique concept. Even though many years have passed since it was created, this chair still managed to captivate the interest of the people today. There are very few products out there that have managed such a feat. Through time, the Wassily chair has also been in production under various names or companies. Today, it represents one of the most iconic industrial and modernist designs.

The development of the Wassily chair started in 1925 and the guy that came up with the concept was called Marcel Breurer. Thanks to the advances that the steel technology was making at the time, the development of new furniture pieces was made possible. Marcel Breuer saw such an opportunity and went with it. At the time, the Wassily chair was named Model B3 Chair and it was developed by Thonet.

Today, the Wassily chair holds a proud spot at the Museum of Modern Art, NY. You can also find more memorable and iconic pieces there. This chair became so popular throughout the years that you can even buy posters of it now. Talk about iconic furniture types! A large part of the success that this chair has is due to the fact that it managed to fill an empty place at exactly the right time. In the past, people were becoming tired of the same and old designs and simply wanted something better.

The first chair that was made was somewhat different than the ones that are produced in the present. In the past, the chair's straps featured a canvas fabric that came in black and white, as well as a wire mesh material that was available in both folding and non-folding chair variations. The initial model is very hard to find these days, and even if you manage to find it the price will surely not be a modest one.

Today, prices can vary largely for the Wassily chairs. You can find them at prices starting from 0 to 00 and over. The Wassily that are made by Knoll are particularly more expensive than the rest of them. You can also find them in various designs, colors and styles.
