SEAT OF IMPORTANCE

The best thing about being home is you can sprawl on a bean bag, or prop yourself up in bed – all while working. And, if you need a new designer chair to inspire you, well, no one’s stopping you either.

01 SERIE UP 2000: UP5_6 ARMCHAIR
GAETANO PESCE FOR B&B ITALIA

This iconic armchair is modelled after the female form, with the ottoman attached to it as a symbol of a woman with a ball and chain. The Italian designer wanted to convey the idea that women are “unwilling prisoners of their own making”, and it was ahead of its time when created in 1969. Just last year, an 8m-high installation of it in Milan caused a controversy. A perfect statement piece for debating on, and debating in.

02 SEASON CHAIR
PIERO LISSONI FOR VICCARBE

A master of contemporary design, Piero Lissoni has created a modern take on stuffy-looking office chairs. The Season chair is a blend of cosy and chic, and its interior structure comes in solid perforated wood covered with shape-holding expandable polyurethane foam. Hidden casters add to its sleek look.

03 STANFORD BRIDGE ARMCHAIR
JEAN-MARIE MASSAUD FOR POLIFORM

Based on the elegant Stanford Lounge of 2016, the Stanford Bridge armchair is an enlarged version, while still maintaining the lightness of design. Works by the well-known French architect are a blend of comfort and functionality – and the Stanford Bridge is no different, with an enveloping shell of a seat on a slender frame of die-cast aluminium, and a swivel base. A proper office chair for a professional study.
