Chair of the Week: Eastpak’s Quinze & Milan Built-To-Resist Sofa

I saw this awesome sofa over at Dezeen and had to share it. Eastpak, which you probably associate with their backpacks, teamed up with the design team known as Quinze & Milan, to create this stuffable, totable sofa. Love it!

Check out this link to see it in action. Check out Y-Living to purchase. It comes in a variety of colors – but please choose red. It’s my favorite color!

Chair of the Week: Cappelini’s Eco Fish

This week’s chair is a lot of fun.  It’s a Cappelini & Walt Disney Signature collection Eco Fish designed by Satyendra Pakhalé, an Indian born, Swiss & Dutch raised designer who has backgrounds at Philips and Frog Design.  You may already be familiar with his Fish Chair. This version is an even more whimsical version, made completely of recycled plastic. (So you’ll feel good about sitting in it). I thought a bit of fun color would brighten up the shortening days of fall. If you’d like to get one, remember,there are only 99 pieces available worldwide.

Chair of the Day: Khaya Collection’s South African Tribal Chair

South African company, Khaya Collection, created this awesome Tribal Chair made from West African Mahogany. Standing at  almost five feet tall, it makes quite a statement. A beautiful statement. Of course, you can sit on it. You can also build a room around it – using it as an inspirational starting point.

Khaya means house in Zulu. All their products are made in Africa and sold through the trade here in the US. The Tribal Chair retails for $2,500.

Chair of the Day: Boingo Chair By Avril Korman

Chair of the Day: Grange’s Salisbury Chaise

Yay! Chair of the Day is back where it should be. Front and center. Please excuse me if I don’t get to it every single day. Things are busy here at Design Hole World Headquarters. :-)

Today’s selection is from Grange. They make exquisite furniture – hand crafted I might add. Their Salisbury Chaise looks terrific in this crushed raspberry velvet, doesn’t it? It gives the traditional style a more contemporary feel. This actually reminds me of the chaise Betty Draper put in her living room on last season’s Mad Men. Don’t you think?

Okay, so what’s your opinion of a chaise? Is it something you’d like to have but wouldn’t spend the money on? Does it seem to frou frou for your style? What room would you put one in? I’d choose a bedroom (of course) or a living/family room. But please, not in front of the fireplace. Opinions?
