I have always liked designer furniture, they are a safe bet for both contemporary environments and eclectic decorations. Within this category are the design chairs, They are able to raise the visual cache from any room or corner. If you are looking for chairs and do not know which one to choose, keep reading because you may find your candidate among these 11 designer chairs.
1. Globus chair by Stua
Stua is a Spanish contemporary design furniture company. One of its best known products is the globe chaira light and stackable chair, with curved shapes that invite comfort.
We can find this chair in different colors and materials depending on whether it is used indoors or outdoors.
In particular, it is a chair that I quite like, because of its light appearance it is ideal for kitchens and small dining rooms.
2. Emeco Navy Chair
In the 1940s, the US Navy commissioned a lightweight, waterproof chair from Emeco for use on their ships and submarines. In collaboration with the aluminum manufacturer Alcoa, the Navy chair was developed, which soon became an icon.
Its manufacture is manual and much of the aluminum used (80%) is recycled.
If you like police series as much as I do, surely you will have seen these chairs more than once in interrogations. I personally find it very appropriate as an office chair.
3. Louis Ghost chair by Kartell
Kartell is a well-known Italian design and decoration company that manufactures plastic products and also has several design icons. This particular chair was designed in 2001 by Philipp Starck and is a nod to the French Baroque style.
Although it may seem fragile at first glance, the Loius Ghost chair is made from a single piece of die-cast polycarbonate and is resistant to bumps and scratches.
It is available in different transparent colors, although the colorless model is the one that best defines its “ghost” quality that makes it go almost unnoticed.
If I had room in my bedroom, I wouldn’t hesitate to place this chair in front of a dressing table.
4. Kartell Mademoiselle Chair
The madeimoelle chair by Kartell combines a transparent polycarbonate frame with a polyurethane foam seat that makes it a comfortable and comfortable chair.
To upholster the seat, fabrics from fashion designers such as Missoni, Valentino, Versace, Moschino or Dolce & Gabbana have been chosen, to name a few.
I like its aesthetics and simplicity of lines, but I don’t see it as suitable for homes with children or pets (can you imagine them trampling and scratching the haute couture upholstery?).
5. Kartell Eros Chair
As there are not two without three, here we have another Kartell chair. Like the previous two, the Eros chair it was designed by Philipp Starck in 1998. Its main feature is its oval polycarbonate seat, which is available both transparent and in various colours, and which rests on a chromed pedestal.
Its elegant and futuristic appearance is not at odds with functionality since it is quite comfortable. I can attest to this as I have a couple of replicas at home, specifically in the hall, and in which I sit daily to put on and take off my shoes.
The Eros chair is not only limited to modern, minimalist or industrial environments, but also works very well in retro, vintage and even eclectic decorations.
6. George Nelson Pretzel Chair
American architect George Nelson designed this plywood chair in the 1950s. Its main feature is that both the backrest and the armrests and legs cross under the seat.
At first the chair was called “Laminated Chair” but it was soon renamed Pretzel Chair, since its intersecting curved shapes resembled this German bread.
I particularly think that it is a very elegant chair although it gives the impression that the backrest is not very comfortable. For this reason, another version of the pretzel chair with a backrest that at first glance seems more comfortable.
7. Marais Chair by Tolix
The French company Tolix created the marais chair in the 50s. This stackable chair that was supplied to bars and restaurants and began to become popular on their terraces until it became a design classic.
Its worn appearance gives it a vintage and industrial touch that makes it ideal for urban lofts, with exposed beams and exposed brick walls, or also in retro-style decorations.
8. Anziano Chair by Donghia
The Anziano chair by Donghia is a modern interpretation of the Klismos chair, one of the best known from ancient Greece. It was designed in 1989 by John Hutton and is part of the Brooklyn Museum of Decorative Arts.
Its particular T-shaped backrest gives it a very ergonomic appearance, and it is also manufactured in different finishes (wood, leather, plastic).
I particularly find that it is a chair with a lot of personality, very appropriate for small dining rooms.
9. Cesca Chair by Marcel Breuer
The Hungarian architect Marcel Breuer designed this chair at the end of the 1920s. Its chromed tubular steel frame and its seat and backrest made of intertwined Vienna straw make the Cesar chair a different chair with a more rustic look than other design chairs.
Its light and comfortable appearance make it very suitable for dining rooms and offices, although I don’t know why this chair reminds me so much of doctor’s offices (I must have visited one with a similar chair).
10. Vitra Panton Chair
At the end of the 1960s, the Vitra company commissioned the design of this chair to the Danish industrial designer Verner Panton. At first it was marketed in white, red and black.
Currently the panton chair It is one of the best-known designer chairs and one that we can usually find in offices, restaurants, waiting rooms, etc. Being made of injected plastic, it is suitable for both indoors and outdoors.
When I updated my kitchen, the Panton chair was one of the candidates to renew the chairs, although I finally discarded the idea because I consider that it is a chair that needs its visual space to show off and I did not have it. In any case, I do not rule out buying it one day as an office chair.
11. Eames chair
the well-known Eames chair It was created in the 1950s by Charles and Ray Eames. His goal was to participate in a low-cost furniture contest organized by the MoMA in New York (he would never have imagined that this type of contest was already held in the 1950s).
Its fiberglass seat in different colours, which can be combined with a wide variety of legs, make it a very versatile chair that can be adapted to multiple styles of decoration: Nordic, modern, eclectic environments, etc.
In recent years it has become so popular that it is rare not to find it as part of the decoration of practically any room in the house.
Do you like designer chairs? If so, I hope you have found your favorite among these 11 designer chairs. I have always loved them, the only drawback I find is the high price, not suitable for all budgets, although there are currently cheaper replicas that make them more accessible.
