The Asymmetric Chair by Asad Firdosy



























A new seating design project created by Asad Firdosy called “The Asymmetric Chair”. The chair handmade in teak & leather is an experiment to evoke emotions that emerge in these modern times of straight line mass productible furniture. In this chair Asad Firdosy tried to bring together two beautiful styles of the past “The Colonial & The Art Craft”.

Asad Firdosy called it an Asymmetric chair because when he looks at the chair it reminds him of the a person with two facial expressions on one face. Its like a half happy & half sad face. This piece of furniture is a little bit unusual, unique but in this world there are a lot of people with all kind of tastes.

Interesting Map Chair at Price $450 in Etsy



















The chair shown here is hand covered in a vintage edition map of the east London area. The map was cut into squares on the grid lines then carefully reconstructed on the chair. The Thames runs across the seat and along the back of the chair. This particular chair is in stock & ready to ship but is also available made to order with an location map you wish. The idea is quite innovative, but a chair with a map is not something that I would like in my home. Price : $450 from Etsy

The Perillo Chair / Martin Ballendat





















The Perillo Chair is a new lounge chair designed by German designer Martin Ballendat for the Switzerland based furniture manufacturer Züco Bürositzmöbel. A captivate and fantastic seating design made this chair match with your modern interior room. See the image, i wonder is there any adjustable panel that can make this chair easy to control for its height.





















From Züco:

What is striking about Züco’s new Ballendat-designed lounge chair is its futuristic design and its extravagant appearance. The seat surface, backrest, armrests and sub-frame follow a flowing, uninterrupted line and seamlessly come together to produce a single unit. The front and rear surfaces are oriented towards each other and create a sensuous geometry. Martin Ballendat’s emotional design really does capture the spirit of the times.
