The LAT Chairs, or Love, Approach, Together Chairs are designed by Jeroen van Larrhoven. Available in two- or three-seats conjoined, the LAT Chairs are available in a variety of colors, that can be the same or mixed and matched. The black and white version shown below is based on the togetherness between cultures.

About the LAT Chairs, the designer’s website says: ” The loving embrace between two chairs – Falling into each other as a reaction to a fragmented reality. A universal feeling that easily transmits to people who are then free to interpret in a personal key.”

Jeroen van Laarhoven is based out of Amsterdam.

Have a look at two contemporary chairs from the Peter Scherer Studio: the Loop Chair and the Aluminum Chair.

Shown above is the Loop Chair, a uniquely designed chair, upholstered in fabric and supported by a sleek metal base.

The Aluminum Chair is made from 8 mm of water-cut aluminum (did the name give it away?!). With modern loops and curves,  the Aluminum Chair is available in black or white.

PSA Scherer Studio is located in Berlin, Germany.

Designed by Standard 41, the Oh! Donna is a natural wood chair that can be used as a modern dining chair or a side chair. As desired, the Oh! Donna can be requested as customized item in the size, finish and wood of your choice. Typically it is offered in walnut, maple, cherry, oak red or black.

The Oh! Donna also comes in masculine form, known as Oh! Donald.

Both are designed by Standard 41, a company based out of Brooklyn, NY and owned by Andrew Raible. His intention was to “create a line of furniture that tends toward “green” reinterpretations of mid-century Scandinavian and American designs with a sculptural twist.”

Standard 41 has a wide collection that spans from various dining and living room seating arrangements to tables, desks and beds. To view more of the products from Standard 41 , check out their website at http://standard41.com.

How about the Shadow Chair?

Available through Duffy London, the Shadow Chair is a unique dining chair that appears to be defying gravity by standing on two legs. Take a closer look and you’ll see the shadow of the chair is actually the base of the chair and integrated into the design.

Made of powder-coated mild steel, the Shadow Chair is available in a variety of finishes, including a special edition polished stainless steel version. There is also a Shadow Sofa and a Wolf Within (Shadow Chair) to complete the Shadow Collection.

How many friends and family members do you think you can fool with these illusionary chairs?

The sculpturistic EarChair is all about creating a space within a space and epitomizes Dutch company Prooff's penchant for designing furniture that encourages "intimate dialogue for public space," . Apart from the expressive minimalism and the path-breaking form factor, the EarChair will offer stimulation to any given environment. The upholstered mammoth lounge chair is available in a plethora of sizes and though Prooff doesn't use any complex techniques it still manages to look fairly ceremonial. The chairs are available in a number of shades and fabric choices and according to Prooff that diverse fabrics "allow for every room to take on its own personal character."

The visually stunning Lullaby Chair by Sand & Birch wants to lull you into blissful oblivion with its ergonomically designed form factor. Designed by Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro from Sand & Birch studio, Lullaby brings a contemporary twist to the archaic armchair. Meshing monochromatic elements with minimalism is always foolproof and the design team capitalizes on this brilliantly. Interestingly the chair pays homage movie sets and has been varnished hard polyurethane.

"Lullaby is also a tribute to movie sets and suggestions belonging to our collective imagination, and the musical quote in its name is perfect for describing the energy concept of its shape."
