Basket Chair by Vico Magistretti

"This one gets noticed. Inspired by Scandinavian design, with curved, graphic lines for the enveloping back and armrests. The Basket armchair has enough personality to be striking on its own. It completes a conversation zone in the living area, or offers a comfortable extra seat in the bedroom. Born to transform, in fabric or leather, it changes its mood depending on the base: fixed, for quiet moments at home, swiveling for dynamic days in the office, rocking for a bit of good cheer, just about anywhere."

ROCK CHAIR BY FÄRG&BLANCHE

From Färg&Blanche, "a rocking chair for our own time." 
"Rocking chairs frequently remain in an ornate, salon mode. Fredrik Färg's Rock Chair is a rocking chair for our own time. It continues the traditional rocking chair's comforting function but in a modern design. Rock Chair is a knock-down design sold in a flat pack. The five pieces are easy to fit together. When the chair has been assembled, the construction is its expressive feature. Nothing is hidden and one can see how the chair holds together."

BAMBY CHAIR BY NOÉ DUCHAUFOUR-LAWRANCE

"Face on, its a classical and welcoming chair with a solid wood structure firmly planted on the ground and an upholstered seat. From another viewpoint, Bamby reveals a slender and ethereal profile with tilted rear feet which suspend the seat in the air; a leaf delicately placed upon a dynamic structure." 
From Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, a chair with tilted rear feet resembling a deer fawn, hence the name Bamby.

COUPE Chair by Läufer + Keichel for Offecct (SE)

‘We wanted to create a chair that gives the impression it is wearing pants,’ says Läufer + Keichel.Julia Läufer and Marcus Keichel founded the design agency Läufer + Keichel, which is based in Berlin.

Share Portable Park Chair by Thomas Bernstrand

Share Portable Park Chair Designed by Thomas Bernstrand
"Share chairs are lightweight outdoor seats designed to nest within each other as they attach to an immovable base. Like the attachable trolleys used in super- markets and airports, the chairs are equipped with coin-operated locking mechanisms that link them together when not in use. Made for parks, city squares and shopping centres, the chairs are mobile seats that individuals can place where they want to. Share chairs provide more flexibility than fixed seating, as they can be positioned to face the sun, enjoy the shade, or take advantage of the view.The chair’s locking mechanism can be operated by a coin or a token, encouraging users to return the chairs to the correct location after use. Designed similarly to stackable chairs, Share nests inside each another, making them easy to store when returned to base."
