Polygon Chesterfield by Christian Fiebig

From Christian Fiebig, a traditional deep buttoned armchair reinterpreted with polygon surfaces. The use of colored paper allowed Fiebig to "realize the real scale model in an easy, playful way but not to create a functional chair." Polygon Chesterfield was shown at the refabriek exhibition during Dutch Design Week 2011. Fiebig is currently working on the development of a functional version of the Polygon Chesterfield.

"A chesterfield deep buttoned armchair reinterpret by reconstructing it through polygon surfaces in a computer program. As part of the refabriek project together with manystudio I transformed the digital model to a 2D developable surface, printed it and rebuilt it in paper.

Through that a real representation of the digital interpretation of the chesterfield could be experienced. The use of paper allowed to realizes the real scale model in an easy way but not to create a functional chair. Currently I’m still working on the development of a functional version."

Chair 107 by Robert Stadler for Thonet

Austrian designer Robert Stadler has created a new bistro chair for Thonet, a brand famed for their bentwood chairs synonymous with cafe culture that have hardly changed in a hundred years.Like the original, Stadler’s Chair 107 can be dismantled for transportation but incorporates a flat backrest and can be produced in a process that’s almost entirely automated.

The original Thonet cafe chairs were designed in 1859, produced in their millions and distributed worldwide.

The details below are from Stadler:

To design a new bistrot chair for Thonet is a touchy task. Initially I was proposed to customize a typical Thonet chair for the Corso restaurants, for which I am in charge of the design.But I preferred to elaborate a new chair instead of producing one more Designer comment on this essential piece of furniture. My starting point was the fact that today chair 214 (historically baptized Nr. 14) is rather expensive, which represents a certain break in regards to Thonet’s history.Indeed the company is renowned for being the first to achieve a world-wide distribution of their furniture thanks to it’s ingenious conception based on dismantling.With chair 107 I focussed on a new design of that element which is now being produced in an almost totally automatic process.
