Resin chair with embeded vines. This chair is pretty cool. It can be customized as well as be specified for outdoor use.

We’ve featured this great recliner before, but now it’s on sale. This and other upholstered items are 15% off at DWR until August 22nd.

Yes, it’s a chair. Kind of hard to absorb at first, but then you get used to it. I think it’s beautiful, and most likely worth every penny (if you’ve got that many pennies to spare).

“an interesting and original piece that is signed by the designer, veryround is a masterpiece in technological construction. it is made of a single .08″ thick steel sheet frame which is cut by a three-dimensional laser, colored white and varnished for outdoor use.”

I sat in this leather chair yesterday and it’s surprisingly comfortable. I almost wanted to buy it. But I have no space for a leather armchair. But if I had a space for it I guarantee I would have taken that thing home with me.

Ohh this is a great chair.

Made of aluminum with a powder coating, stackable and available in 186 colors, mat or glossy.

Designer: Alexandre Berthiaume

This is pretty.

Measurements: H 28″ x W 30.25″ x D 30″

“All come in graphite on oak, rift-sawn white oak and walnut with a brushed stainless steel base.

Lead time: This is a new product. It will begin shipping in late July, 2006.”

A playfully modern silhouette with an affable price tag…

And, perhaps for those of you with a little more money to burn, you might appreciate the Rhino Chair in an extremely limited wood version (3 pieces only)…

This chair is currently discounted about a $1000. I want one now.

“Comfort in seating is harder to achieve on a small scale, but the Don Lounge Chair (1999) by Gerard van den Berg exceeds all expectations. As part of the chair’s studied proportions, a high, angled back supports the head and neck while allowing for a slight recline. The seat widens at the knee to allow for different seating positions and for use with the coordinating ottoman. Cushions with internal spring suspension provide even support and hold their form. Buttery soft leather upholstery is precisely tailored to have taut, straight seams and long-lasting appearance retention. The steel hairpin sleigh base was specifically designed to support the Don while maintaining a graceful aesthetic. Made in the Netherlands. “

To find an outdoor lounge chair under $250 is pretty good, but to find one that looks this good is great. Normally I’d prefer wood for the out-of-doors, but this particular design has me sold on aluminum.

“An elegant and classic ladderback aesthetic distinguishes the sleek Aero Collection from ordinary indoor/outdoor furniture. A smooth lacquer finish resists scratches for low-maintenance use indoors and out.”

I do have to say that these two chairs are quite intriguing…

“Two chairs mate neatly along a broken line of shifted wood slats. Hinting at a metaphor for a broken or mended relationship, the chairs join to form a bench. Two can sit close or separate. The chairs are made from plantation grown teak hardwood, cast aluminum and aluminum tubing. They are suitable for outdoor and indoor use.”

The Oldstock candleholders are pretty eye-catching as well, and the fact that they are made from recycled glass bottles doesn’t hurt one bit.

Kartell products are on sale through Midnight May 14th at highbrowfurniture.com. I especially like the Trix, which can be configured as an ottoman, a chair, a lounge or a bed. How versatile!

“Trix is composed of three cushions of different sizes linked by an elegant system of rubber bands. With a simple rotating movement, they can be transformed and used in different ways. Trix can be the original pouf for two people. It can also be turned into a cosy bed, a comfortable lounge chair and a welcoming arm chair.

Composed of expanded polyurethane and is upholstered in three-dimensional woven polyester technical fabric.”

Bound to become iconic (in my humble opinion), this chair is an investment that will be worth every penny as years pass.

“Details that make a difference are the signature of this architect. The frame, a continuous 17-foot piece of solid stainless steel, is shaped under 200 lbs of hydraulic pressure over 24 hours. The result is a sinuous structure welded in a single spot and wrapped in almost an entire hide of leather that will gain depth and luster as it ages. Exceptionally comfortable, the Paulistano flexes slightly and can be adjusted for upright or relaxed sitting positions by shifting the leather sling up or down the frame.”

It’s pretty amazing that bean-bag chairs have been elevated to this level of chic since they were first introduced in the 70′s. Unlike their predecessor, these futuristic bean-bags are made of stain-resistant, rip-proof nylon and filled with foam beads which result in a furniture piece that can be shaped and configured in multiple ways to meet your comfort needs. I like how it’s a simple, minimal looking piece of furniture that has versatile capabilities: the large size (5.5 x 4.5 feet) allows it to be laid flat for lounging or folded to make a chair.
