Bokja Vintage Bucket Chair -- $ 4,200.00| Buy it here
While the price of this chair might scare you more than the fabric does, it’s an excellent example of how a rather normal chair can become completely crazy with the right (or wrong) choice of fabric. Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hubri of Bokja Design use all sorts of fabrics to revitalize vintage finds, and if you’re not familiar with their work, it’s worth a glance just to see the variety of textiles. All pieces are handmade by traditional craftsmen, and the vintage textiles used are from Uzbekistan, central Asia, and other countries along the Silk Road. Take a look at Bokja’s products and believe me, you’ll certainly find inspiration (and courage?) for reupholstering any of your current threadbare furniture.
dimensions: 31″w x 26″d x 28″h x 16″sh.
Designers: Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hubri of Bokja Design

Domus Lounge Chair -- £ 1,035.00
| Buy it here
While this chair was designed in 1946, I can’t say that I’ve seen it around that much. Now, the Domus Chair, sure, that’s no stranger, but the curvy lounge chair pictured above is brand new to my eyes. The black stained version has my name written all over it (you just can’t see it because the text is so small, ha ha).
“The characteristic Domus Lounge Chair was designed, alongside the Domus chair, for the public spaces at the Domus Academica’s student housing.”
Designed by Iilmari Tapiovaara
Dimensions: 59w x 70.5d x 39/86.5h

Ilio Black Diamond armchair -- £ 1,872.00
| Buy it here | [via]
Well, looky here at this angled armchair. Seeing as the structure can be rotated into different sitting positions, you could think of it as two chairs (and a ‘dynamic sculpture’) for the price of one.

2 positions : POSITION 1 = L 135 cm x W 110cm x H 79 cm, POSITION 2 = L 140 cm x W 115 cm x H 50 cm

Folding Chair and Ottoman -- $ 650.00| Buy it here | [via]
I’ve been catching up on my rss feeds, and was delighted to find this Folding Chair and Ottoman over on Cool Material. Easy to transport and easy to store, it looks like something to seriously consider if you’re short on space (or, on the run).
Inspired by the clever design of pop-up books, we developed a chair that could be used as a permanent piece of furniture in modern homes and businesses but could also be easily transported, stored, and set up. Despite the minimalistic form, it provides a comfortable and stable resting place just about anywhere.
* Made from a single sheet of plywood
* Folds flat in seconds for quick storage
* Assembles easily without tools
* Optional snap-on cushions (in 3 colors)
The chair folds down to a 60″ x 30″ rectangle, at 1 3/4″ tall.
Shipping and handling for the Folding Chair anywhere in the Continental US is $130.

Café America Chair from Grain -- $ 600.00| Buy it here
Chain-link fencing for a chair? Well, sure, why not… though I wonder if it would snag your clothes.
Café America is a surprisingly comfortable indoor/outdoor chair. Taking inspiration from ubiquitous chain-link fencing, it recontextualizes the unsung material. A unique cushioning effect is created by the lightly tensioned chain-link seat and back. Café America is made of recycled chain-link whenever possible and flat-packs for efficient shipping and storage.
Custom color powder coating available for $100 up-charge.
Materials: Recycled galvanized steel chain-link with stainless steel rod and fasteners.
38.25″h x 17″w x 21.5″d

HOI Magazine Chair -- $ 2,425.00| Buy it here
It seems like there’s a recent trend in furniture designs where you can literally surround youself in books. The Bibliochase and the Bookinist were the first examples I’ve seen, and we mentioned the Cave shelving on the blog before, and now we have this, except this one specifically caters to magazines (not that you can’t put books on it if you wanted to).
Materials: Glass and MDF
Size: 116 cm wide x 86 cm deep x 73 cm high

Capsule Collection by Ziglam & Brook -- £ 2621.99
| Buy it here
I fell hard and fast for Deadgood when I first saw their Love Collection, and I might just have a serious crush on the Capsule Sofa and Chair. The colorful buttons and graduated tones add just the right amount of playfulness… might be the perfect thing to knock the serious edge off a room.
This fully upholstered collection of seating utilises off cuts of fabric to create a graduated run of colour tones and textures that cover an arrangement of irregular sized buttons. The forms themselves are derived from a simple three-dimensional capsule shape which creates a comfortable and engaging seating range, suitable for either commercial or domestic applications, with a tongue in cheek reference to the solar system and 60’s space age adventure. The Capsule Collection can be supplied in a variety of colours and button textures to match your exact requirements.
Capsule Chair (685h x 1050w x 900d), £2621.99
Capsule 2 Seater Sofa (685h x 2000w x 900d), £3712.20
3.5 Seater Sofa (685h x 2500w x 900d)

Moooi Dickies Chair by Anthony Kleinepier -- $ 860.00| Buy it here

With the Dickies, Anthony Kleinepier likes to raise more questions than answers, so the expectations and codes of our daily environment become vague.

The Dickies Chair create a casual contemporary look.
