DESIGNERS SELECT Seating Designers share their favorite new chairs and benches Diane S. Taitt, Assoc. AIA, IIDA, ASID Bernhardt: CP Chair by Charles Pollock Herman Miller: Eames Molded Wood Chair SIXINCH: Blocks bernhardtdesign.com Reader Service No. 210 hermanmiller.com Reader Service No. 211 sixinch.us Reader Service No. 212 Managing Principal De Space Designs Washington, D.C. “This armless leather lounger, with a back formed from an unbroken line, is my new classic lounger. It is an elegant chair that appears to be perched for takeoff! It is well crafted, airy, and contemporary.” “The Eames Molded Wood Chair is a beautiful expression of timeless design. I love this familiar, modern, and forward-thinking new iteration. The organic, simple wood form can be used anywhere.” “Blocks by SIXINCH are flexible, minimalist cubes, usable as chairs, benches, tables, or architectural elements. They are available in any color with limitless possibilities for forms, customized graphics, and branding. As a designer, I am excited by the creative possibilities!” Jay Adams Steelcase: Gesture HOLLY HUNT: Odense Chair JANUS et Cie: Green Side Chair steelcase.com Reader Service No. 213 hollyhunt.com Reader Service No. 214 janusetcie.com Reader Service No. 215 “This chair was designed to move as the human body moves. Easily adjusted articulating arms facilitate use of mobile technology devices. This is the chair for those whose work involves more than just sitting at a desktop computer.” “The quality of this chair is impeccable. It is bench-made in the United States using sophisticated joinery, and it is upholstered with perfectly consistent French seaming. The wood is walnut but can be specified in an ebony finish for an elegant look.” “Named Green because the shell is made from 100 percent recycled plastic, this chair can be used outdoors and stacks eight high. Beech wood legs bolt to a powder-coated aluminum frame. Spanish designer Javier Mariscal’s work is always fun.” Principal Jay Adams Design San Francisco Principal Swanke Hayden Connell Architects New York 106 LEPERE: Play Bench BluDot: Copper Real Good Chair Aellon: Rimbaud Bench lepereinc.com Reader Service No. 216 LoriAnn Maas, IIDA bludot.com Reader Service No. 217 aellon.com Reader Service No. 218 “What’s the best thing about candlelight? Everyone looks good. This is the candlelight of benches: skinny, super lean, and oh-so-graceful. I close my eyes and dream of this bench every day when I get on the subway.” “This chair came out a few years ago, but it is recently available in a copper finish. Its patina provides the surface appearance of something that has grown beautiful, especially with age or use. The copper finish gives BluDot’s modular chair a softer look and reveals fingerprints.” “You know when you are walking on the beach and come across an amazing piece of driftwood? That’s this bench by Aellon. It is so elegant, simple, and sculptural.” contractdesign.com JUNE 2013 http://www.bernhardtdesign.com http://www.hermanmiller.com http://www.sixinch.us http://www.steelcase.com http://www.hollyhunt.com http://www.janusetcie.com http://www.lepereinc.com http://www.bludot.com http://www.aellon.com http://www.contractdesign.com
