IT’S ALL ABOUT CHAIRS!
1. The Asian wooden chair:
This chair belonged to the living room set at my parent’s house. It has been in the family house for more than two decades. I would consider this as one of the handmade types of chair. The chair was handcrafted by skillful craftsmen in Asia, in solid large pieces of wood. The design of the chair was inspired by Asian nobles house from the 18 century. During that time, your set of the chair really communicate your political view and power level, the more powerful they were, the bigger and more massive the chairs they had in their living room. The seating area is big, and could almost would fit two people. The chair is heavy with a mixture of oriented details. However since the set of chairs were designed in the modern time, the details was eliminated to fit with the current time.
2. The McDonald’s chair:
I took this photo at Mcdonald store. The chair was made in a lightweight plastic material. The color of the chair is in light cream, complimenting the interior of the store. We can see that it is mass-produced, very basic modern shape, easy to clean and maintain. Since it is the fast food place, the shop wants customers to mainly grab and go. I noticed the chair is not that comfortable. I guess the shop does not want customers to stay for so long.
3. The designer chair:
I found this photo through an upscale furniture Instagram’s store. The set of chairs built in wood, with geometrical cutting shapes. The chair itself is a piece of sculpture. Beyond the functionality, the design of the chairs enhanced the shape of the table. It is truly one of a kind chair. I am not sure how comfortable it is, but the look of the chair is already inviting people to come and have a seat on it.
4. The guest’s chair:
This chair was brought together with our solid grey sofa. The chair is wide and has a cushion, provides comfort for a guest to come and sit or just relax and unwind. With the print on the cushion cover, it also communicates as an accent piece of furniture to the rest of the furniture in the room, which are all in solid colors. I know it is comfortable and nice, but for some reason, the way the chair was designed, it unconsciously sent a message to me that it’s a chair for guests using only. I have not spent that much time with this chair.
I guess everyone has their own favorite chair in the house.
5. My office’s chair:
This was the first time I got furniture from Amazon, and it was a pleasant surprise. I was looking for something sleek, simple and not too pricey of a chair to go with my industrial looking desktop. Since I will spend a lot of time working on the chair, I was hoping that besides the look, the chair should be comfortable for me.
The chair is covered in faux leather and was inspired by the mid-century with organic shape that hugs the body of the person who sits on it. It is combined with three different materials: stainless steel for the leg; wooden material for the back of the chair; and faux leather for the seat – creating the modern look for the room. The chair is very comfortable for a person with my height (I am not that tall), easy to install, and has wheels at the legs so I can move around.
