Why is your chair obese?Maybe because it is designed for couch potatoes being very confortable to stay all day in it ?
The first chair is designed by Charlotte Kingsnorth of Buckinghamshire New University which took First place in a Furniture Design Contest.
The idea behind this chair was ” inspired by the new Vitra Edition collection that is unencumbered by commercial constraints and pushes the boundaries of innovative furniture design”.
Kingsnorth says she was inspired from the obesity of people and Jenny Saville’s paintings: “a sofa that has been devoured by its obese occupier”. “The flesh has spilled and encased the sofa… until the two have married into a new grotesque form,” she explains.
The second obese chair is the Eames chair which really resonates with a wide range of people. Who doesn’t like a extremely confortable chair to sit all day long in front of the TV ? Maybe not all day, and maybe in front of your computer…
I can’t make my mind which one is more suited for me…Maybe the first one…or maybe the second one…Are you a couch potatoe ?
