About the Item

The Sponge chair by Peter Traag reduces the lounge chair to pillowed volumes, its swollen arms and deep seat appearing vacuumed around the body. Upholstered in supple beige leather, it plays with ideas of compression and expansion. The piece has a slightly surreal quality, putting forth a distinctly Dutch levity. The chair embodies the playful material experimentation that defined much European design in the early 2000s. Peter Traag is a Dutch designer known for his sculptural furniture and experimental approach to form. His work often explores volume, tactility and materiality, lying between functional object and collectible design. The armchair is in good condition, with wear consistent with age and use.

Blown-Up Chair by Schimmel & Schweikle, Netherlands, 2022

Blown-Up Chair by Schimmel & Schweikle, Netherlands, 2022

By Janne Schimmel

Located in Antwerp, BE

Blown-up chair by Schimmel & Schweikle, crafted from recycled plastic durable hard PU coating with brown peel structure. Schimmel & Schweikle is an ongoing collaboration between Janne Schimmel and Moreno Schweikle. Their work revolves around the nexus of technology, art, and culture. In that realm, Schimmel & Schweikle focus on developing concepts that deal with the closing gap of the digital and physical realm. For their graduation project "Return to Default" in 2018, Moreno Schweikle and Janne Schimmel digitally manipulated the DNA of three standard office chairs, creating faintly familiar mutants. The ordinary desk chair became a three-seater sofa, and twelve office stools melted into a majestic lounge chair. This particular conference chair was blown up into an overstuffed version, showcasing the importance of recycling shapes in design. The off-size frame was 3D-printed, traditionally upholstered, and reintroduced into the office space. We currently have a selection of these armchairs in stock...
