Durability

You must invest in good quality furniture that can satisfy all the specifications and requirements that you need. Thorough research on the materials is important. A Le Corbusier chair is a great option if you’re looking for durability. The frame is constructed from high quality stainless steel – robust and virtually indestructible. The seats and headrest are top quality leather – comfortable yet hard-wearing leather. Both of these principal materials are also easy to clean and maintain. All these factors combine to give you a piece of furniture that should last a lifetime.

Design

The main aim of a chair is to offer comfort and restfulness. This is a factor to bear in mind for chairs in every part of the house, but it’s particularly important in the living room as it’s an area intended for relaxation. The Le Corbusier brand of chairs has a unique and elegant design that was made to satisfy human comfort. The chairs adjust to the user’s desired position, holding and supporting the human body perfectly whether sitting or reclining.

Price

Chairs are a necessity for every living room. They differ hugely in price depending on design, materials and style. Some may be expensive, yet the quality doesn’t correlate. You must invest wisely to acquire a good quality piece that still offers value for money. With this in mind, the Le Corbusier brand of chairs is certainly something to consider; and the price tag is affordable. The durability and timeless style also mean that it’s a long term investment – this furniture will serve you well for many years.

Designer Desire: Jonathan Adler

We’ve highlighted Jonathan Adler’s cute Menagerie collection on our blog a while ago, and now more of his wonderful designs will be available over here in the UK. Not only does the Jonathan Adler shop now ship to this country, he’s bringing out a line with high street stalwart, H&M, in a few days time.

Adler began his artistic endeavours as a potter before selling a line to US department store, Barneys, in 1993. The rest, as they say, is history. He now designs furniture, textiles, lighting, wall art… and has published 4 books to date. On top of all this, he still finds time to be an interior designer, transforming numerous homes in New York, Palm Springs and Palm Beach.

I love his designs; they’re modern, fun, distinctive and eye-catching. His designs are available at a range of price points; from £24 for a porcelain Menagerie hanging ornament to £6,500 for the stunning Reform credenza (bottom image).

The Jonathan Adler x H&M HOME designer collaboration will be sold online in selected countries and in selected H&M shops internationally from 14 November 2019.

Designer Desire: John and Sylvia Reid

This week, we feature a British, mid-century modern design duo – John and Sylvia Reid. Architects/designers who produced furniture for Stag Furniture and lighting for Rotaflex. They’ve also been involved in designs for the Boys Club, Stamford Hill, Hackney; Piazza Coffee Bar, Marylebone High Street, London and the Wheatsheaf Pub, Cumberland Road, Camberley.

The couple’s son, Dominic Reid, is reproducing some of the designs from their archive. He’s collaborated with Nicholas Radford, the Managing Director of Nathan Furniture (which is produced here in little old Todmorden!) and son of the original manufacturer. They’re reissuing a capsule collection from the S-Range which initially launched in 1960 and ended production a mere 3 years later.

The collection will be launched at Clerkenwell Design Week next month (22-24 May 2018). Said Radford:

Dominic and I are very excited about the re-issue of the S-Range, as it represents not only one of the very best examples of British mid-century design, but has a great collaborative heritage behind it which we are both very proud to be a part of. We hope the design community attending Clerkenwell will love what we have to show them.”

Designer Desire: Enzo Mari

Enzo Mari is an Italian product designer who is, in our opinion, under-valued and -appreciated. He’s a life-long communist and infamous firebrand known for his staunch views on design and life in general. “Design is dead” and “form is everything” are statements made during his regular outbursts.

He states that during his design process, he’s more interested in pleasing the factory worker than the consumer. Evidence of this can be seen in his 1973 Proposta per un’autoprogettazione – a manual for creating a collection of basic, DIY furniture simply using plain planks of wood and nails.

He’s produced designs for brands such as Driade, Poltronova, Alessi, KPM Berlin and, most famously, Danese Milano. It was only when researching Mari that I discovered he designed the ‘Mama’ range for Le Creuset in 1972.

Many of his designs are still in production and are available from Houzz and Made in Design, Vintage and discontinued examples are for sale at Connox, eBay, Etsy and Pomono.
