Who doesn’t love a good throne? I wasn’t expecting to encounter three fabulous hot-pink throne chairs when I visited the Summer Fancy Food Show in June, but there they were, presiding over the Diva Delights‘ booth like the seating area of a very glamorous destination.
This cookie brand went all-in on its diva theme, creating a sleek black-and-gold booth complete with crystal drop lighting fixtures, a dramatic gold-and-black logo backdrop, a jeweled-pen giveaway and these spectacular Pink-and-Gold High-Back Throne Chairs. The cookies stepped aside for a moment: I absolutely had to take a picture of these chairs! Continue reading Pink Thing of the Day: Pink Throne Chairs Fit for a Diva→
Furniture is sometimes at its best design-wise when it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Case in point: Alan Siegel’s irreverent Tongue Chair, designed in 1981. With its seat transformed into a wide-open mouth and a bright pink tongue playfully poking out, the chair turns an everyday piece of furniture into a a little piece of surrealist theater. The chair’s ‘face illusion’ is completed by a back support that forms a human nose, while two eyes can be seen along the curved upper back and armrest that continues to form the chairs front legs.

At Salon Art + Design in 2018, Galerie kreo presented a piece that quietly shimmered from its corner: Alessandro Mendini’s Poltrona White Gold. Unlike some of the louder, more colorful Mendini works, this chair relied on subtlety — and sparkle — to draw viewers in.
Covered entirely in tiny reflective mosaic tiles, the chair appears almost liquid in its surface treatment. The white-gold finish catches light gently rather than dramatically, giving the piece a soft glow that shifts as you move around it. From a distance, it reads as a single luminous form; up close, the meticulous craftsmanship of the miniature tiles becomes apparent.
