This 300th post of my blog is specially dedicated my my beloved designer chairs.
Left: My working chair; Right: my lazy, relaxing, cup-of-coffee lounge chair.Story 1: The Relaxing lounge chair.
Came across and article about a relaxing chair years ago. At that time it told myself that if i ever saw one, then i must owned it. While hunting for the furniture for my house, i saw it, i finally saw it in real other than in TV, and i was like...gasping.....oh my god, i must own it. I felt in love at first sight when i first knew it from TV, when i saw it in a shop, it was love at first touch.
It's a famous designer chair that it even has its own miniature in the scale of 1/12. I saw it few days back in a shop in Singapore. Now i started to regret that i didn't buy it, because at that i time i thought it was $30 for a single model of chairs. Only now then i realised it was the price for a set of collection. Anyway, when you have the real thing, the miniatures are just to fulfill your crazy desire. My mum did ask me why i must buy this chair, i said i must because it's a dream of mine.
Story 2: The white working chair.
Went to the same shop again before really buying the relaxing lounge chair. I saw another designer chair, which is really suitable for my working desk. It's very comfortable and really is my style. So i ended up paying quite a lot for these designer chairs. I never ever feel regret, not a single second.
Story 3: The real story of these chairs. (photos taken from the internet)
Pioneers of the 1950s and of the optimistic American way of life, Charles and Ray Eames created the greatest modern furniture “classics” between 1941 and 1978.
They designed more than 20 chair models, mostly unique pieces, and developed know-how in the art of sitting. The Plywood Chairs LCW(Lounge chair wood) and DCW(Dining chair wood) (1946), the Aluminum Group (1958) and the Lounge Chair (1956) have become true symbols of design that remain references today. Still produced, they inspire the admiration of new generations to convey the generous social ideal of their designers. The wholehearted dedication of Charles and Ray Eames to creating beautiful and top-quality mass-market products, and the joy imparted through their free forms, gave rise to the myth of a human and sensual modernity. A mythical couple, probably one of the most productive and creative of the 20th century.
