Obese Chairs

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…

This chair is designed by Charlotte Kingsnorth of Buckinghamshire NewUniversity 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 innovativefurniture 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.
