Dead Good Chairs

Check out the heart shaped buttons on this stylish chair by Ziglam and Brook. I saw this only the other day at 100% Design as part of the London Design Festival, and it is every bit as beautiful in the flesh! The chair is fully upholstered (in a grey wool in the image here) with solid oak legs and I would like one... The chair is available to buy from the design epicentre that is deadgood.

Hello There!

This is one of our most recent purchases - a 'Hello There' chair designed by Jeremy Harvey in 1978. It's a metal chair that says 'Hello' in the back, and 'There' in the seat and I've wanted one for such a long time! We thought about importing one from Europe, but that seemed a bit silly (not to mention expensive). Sally finally found one for sale in the UK from a great company that sells mid-century furniture. The chair was originally produced in lots of wonderful colours but I'm glad we got the yellow one - it makes me happy every time I see it!

How Fibreglass Chairs Are Made


I found another film by Charles and Ray Eames. This one was made for Herman Miller, and it covers the fiberglass chair manufacturing steps in wonderful detail. It's amazing to see the craftmanship that goes into these chairs... Enjoy!
