Take a Seat!

Listen. If anyone loves sitting around, it's me. So why not make a post about some funky chairs that I have found? When I went on my chair search, I wasn't necessarily looking for patterns---I was more interested in the design of the chair itself. Here are some of the chairs that I found to be interesting.

Chair One: This is an interesting chair, though I question the level of comfort it provides for its user. It reminds me of an explosion.


Chair Two: Very industrial, very city. I'm quite sure this is less comfortable than the previous chair but fun nonetheless.


Chair Three: I don't love these chairs but I find them interesting. I think they're comparable to gaming chairs. I wouldn't mind trying one out to see how sturdy it is but it actually looks pretty comfortable.


Chair Four: I actually love these chairs and I can picture them in a few places. They'd make great bar seating or fun chairs for a table in a hang-out/gaming room.

Chair Five: This is an "anti-gravity" chair. It looks very comfortable and I love that it can be used in a variety of ways. It's available in different colors and appears to be very functional.


Chair Six: This is, by far, my favorite chair. I love how sleek it is and this is definitely something I would purchase for my home. I love the lines and the curvature of the piece and that it has a little light at the top. I have never seen anything like this before and I definitely would take it in a heart beat.

Luminosity!

I love light. My grandmother's living room is always a room of gloom. Well, to be fair, she's quite penurious, so her rooms always have the bare minimum in terms of lighting. (Read: I can't see anything.) I thought I would share some interesting lamps that I have found. I have to say that I was quite disappointed on my search. I felt like when I was looking over the bookcases, there were so many that I thought were funky that I didn't even post. I am thinking I might have to rethink my stance and design funky lamps instead.


Lamp One: I must have some sort of penchant for appendages if you recall the bookshelves I posted in my previous entry. These might be the most adorable lamps I have ever laid my eyes on and they're quite pleasant. They're very simple with clean lines, something I am a fan of, yet they are clearly different from anything else I've ever seen.



Lamp Two: I wouldn't say that I love this and I probably wouldn't purchase it myself if given the opportunity but I can appreciate it's appeal nonetheless. This is really for someone who appreciates the curvature of a piece. What I like about it is that it is quite different from the standard lamp.




Lamp Three: I find myself quite ambivalent about this piece. While I find it intriguing and pleasing to look at, I find it difficult to imagine where I would place this in my home. I am thinking that I would use this in an office space or when I'm rich enough to purchase my highly industrialized condo.




Lamps Four & Five: Two different takes I found on the same game. These Pac Man lamps are fun. I think they'd be great in a kids room but more awesome in the game room that I do not have. I like that they stayed with the simplicity of the characters themselves.




Lamp Six: This lamp is simple yet elegant. I love how ramified this piece looks without appearing too chaotic. This is definitely a piece that can make an appearance anywhere in your home.
