Ink Chair by Bjorn Fink

A flexible seating design created by Bjorn Fink. The sand cast aluminum frame turns, pivots, and adjusts in every which way to keep the tattooee comfy while making it easier for the tattooer to do his/her job. There are no motorized parts and the entire frame can be made with just one mold. I don’t see any reason why this wouldn’t be a hit in tattoo parlors across the world if the price were right.

Designer: Bjorn Fink

Confluences By Philippe Nigro

Confluences is a new collection of upholstered seating that French designer Philippe Nigro has created for the furniture manufacturer Ligne Roset. Furniture manufacturers Ligne Roset presented a collection of seating by designer Philippe Negro at IMM Cologne this week. The range consists of brightly-coloured, upholstered lounge chairs that fit together, appearing to cuddle up to each other.




Information from Ligne Roset:

“How can one design a settee which satisfies the requirements of the majority of users? Different people have different physiognomies. And then there is the subjectivity of taste. CONFLUENCES is a ‘reconciliatory’ settee, since it draws its inspiration from such differences”. CONFLUENCES attempts to supply an answer to an ergonomic problem, and in this way becomes a playground for plastic forms and colours in many shade variations.




CONFLUENCES is doubtless one of the bedrocks of the new trend for‘counterforms’, with its characteristic overlapping arrangement of elements in the style of a puzzle or yin-yang. CONFLUENCES is a breath of fresh air which breaks with all the normal conventions of upholstered furniture. This piece will please not only lovers of radical design, but also all those who are seduced by a multiplicity of possible sitting positions, and the as yet unheard- of conviviality offered by its colourful, unbridled compositions with evocative names such as the ‘Toi et moi’ (‘You and me’) love seat, the ‘small conversation settee’ and ‘large conversation settee’, or the 4-seat settee with two integral chaises longues.



At first glance, CONFLUENCES appears to be the fruit of the designer’s creative musings on the theme of uncompromising volumes. And yet, one will be amazed to discover that it is simply the result of a reasoned approach on the part of the designer, with a view to offering the best possible response to customer demand for personalised comfort.



Philippe Nigro: “How can one dream up a settee capable of satisfying the greatest possible number of users? Their body shapes, their tastes? The CONFLUENCES settee unites them all, for it draws its inspiration from variety.”



One possible answer was to offer a variety of seat depths and back heights on a single settee, in order to match the comfort with the expectations of the individual user. This approach naturally came with the disadvantage of having to make varying proportions work in a harmonious way in terms of form.

HAG Sideways Chair

Sideways Chair is the new chair made for Hâg by the Norwegian design bureau Formel. A new trend in meeting rooms now days is to make meetings less formal and more open and inclusive, and therefore the chair also had to be like that. The integrated armrest, swings behind the back and provides generous support when sitting sideways, and you can also find a comfortable resting position, leaning far back, supported by both elbows.



























The sideways chair has been designed for seating comfort and to provide maximum freedom of movement. The innovation lies in the smart seat shape and arm rest. The arm rest curls around the back of the chair and is designed as a back support as well as an arm rest.

Not only innovative, the sideways chair is also aesthetically pleasing and as the seat swings back to its original position when you get up, it provides an uncluttered and always presentable appearance.

Chaise Longue AR1 by Arthur Rottier

A nice Chaise Lounge AR1 designed by Arthur Rottier of Netherlands-based furniture company PCS will be presented at the IMM Cologne furniture fair this month. The chaise lounge AR 1 is made from EPS and polyether foam, with a solid coating on the white base and leather-like coating on the coloured cushions.



























Arthur Rottier 1 is a fresh translation of the classic chaise longue. Base for the design were ergonomic measurements and contemporary manufacturing techniques. The body position allows active participation in conversation, but would not block a little nap either. The extreme durability of the materials allows for heavy duty in- and outdoor use, domestic as well as professional.


























The AR 1 chaise lounge comes in five colors contrasting the white base; but color wishes can be fullfilled. Kid’s version available. The soft color selection of this cool seating design is really refreshing.
