Beanbags normally have negative associations, but these are too good of a price to rule out just because you had one when you were a kid.

Check out the subtle crook of the legs and the way the leather wraps around the frame- it’s little details like those that make me understand the price tag. Plus, I like how it looks hefty.

This Sawbuck chair displays typical Wegner style. A surefire classic.

“A sculpture you’ll enjoy every day, the Sawbuck chair emboides the best of Danish Modern design- in fact, an early version of this chair sits in The Danish Arts and Industry Museum. Designed by Hans Wegner in 1951, this special edition in created exclusively for [Room & Board] by Carl Hansen & Son, the original manufacturer of the Sawbuck. Handcrafted from walnut and oak, each chair is made according to Wegner’s designs and specifications.”

I don’t know why it seems that the simpler modern sofas are more expensive, but I think something like this would be worth the price.

“BERNARD has a soft, generous seat depth and the gently reclining back provides a luxurious sit. Manufactured using a solid beech frame and upholstered with dacron wrapped foam cushions, the range comes in 2 and 3 seaters, a corner unit and chair. Available with either a stainless frame or a straight leg version. The chair is also available as a more compact version with a powder coated swivel base.”

Available in a range of Bute, Gabriel or Kvadrat fabrics, Hulsof or Spinneybeck leather or customer’s own material.

Chair: 24.5″H x 45″W x 32.75″D
2 Seater: 24.5″H x 76″W x 32.75″D

Corner (L/R): 24.5″H x 50″W x 32.75″D

This lounge chair doesn’t have a pedigree, but the legs are certainly reminiscent of Paul Kjaerholm’s Springing Chair. If you don’t mind owning a referential piece, then this chair may not be a bad choice.

Remarkable in its upholstery technique, this chair would be sure to garner some attention from your guests.

‘This chair was named after the technique of knitting sleeves or socks “In the Round.” In order to upholster a chair completely with only one knit sleeve, the tubular steel frame had to be formed in one continuous line that closes in a loop. Careful attention was paid to the seat so that enough surface area would ensure comfort. Thirty feet, or nine meters, of sleeve is required to upholster one chair.’

Stitch version (shown): $2200 (available in multiple colours including brights)
Striped version in felted wool: $2600 (available in solids)

Width 25″ Depth 28″ Height 27″ Seat Height 15″

I’m not made of money, but this chair is. (ba-dum-bum-chhha!)

“Performance art in a chair: Hand-welded in the curvaceous shape of a butterfly, amassed from 1500 half dollar coins and 7000 welds. Stainless steel and half-dollar pieces. The contoured shape is designed to cradle the body. 58 pounds.”

Measures 46″ x 32″ x 34″.

This hard to miss chair comes with a removable felt color and is actually pretty affordable considering it includes an ottoman.

Made in Denmark.

I can’t believe we haven’t posted this before.

The
Gubi Chair
did a disappearing act a while back, and we received several emails from those of you that were trying to find it with no luck. Happily, it is again available for purchase. The picture above is, of course, the lounge, but the other chairs and stools are available from the same source. Lots of color options on the upholstered versions as well…

lacquer. Also available in black soft coating. Available with frontal
or full upholstery in various fabrics or laminated leathers. Base in

While this cost a pretty penny and then some, it sure is something. It reminds me of Jacobsen’s
Egg Chair, just more edgy/angular.

“characterized by angular lines, this armchair is constructed of a steel
frame covered with injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam and
polyester fiber. the base consists of a lacquered steel tube, in rifle
brown and gray, and the footrest is chrome. comes in three different
styles: armchair, revolving armchair, and armchair with footrest.”

armchair with footrest: 30.3″w x 43.3″h x 49.5″d, $3,807.00
revolving armchair: 31.5″w x 43.3″h x 34.8″d, $4,026.00
revolving stool: 25.5″w x 13.8″h x 24.8″d, $1,723.00
