A chair is no longer just a piece of furniture. It is no longer just that “thing” you sit on.
Designers such as Ralph Nauta, Loenneke Gordijn, Peter Bristol, and Vivian Chiu are combining everyday furniture such as chairs with art.
What they can achieve by doing that is just mesmerizing.
We’ve chosen five of what we consider to be the best chair designs around that we want to show you!
