Bold Chairs Designed For Breakout Rooms
Although London can be described as one of the “old world” powers, no one can accuse it of being stuck in the past. Especially when it comes to its buildings. Modern architecture – both interior and exterior – abounds in London. And it needs beautifully bold furniture to go with it. Furniture in unexpected shapes, colour blocking and pieces that cleverly use pattern can be used to spruce up the interior of your modern space. Here are a few of our favourite bold designs:
Proust Geometrica Armchair
During the late seventies, Alessandro Mendini busied himself with research for a new fabric range for Cassina which was to be a reflection of the work of the literary colossus that is Marcel Proust. Whilst digging up information about the bourgeoisie environment associated with Proust, Mendini came across a copy of a Neo-Baroque style armchair, and had his eureka moment… The result was the Proust Chair – one of the most iconic chair designs of the 20th century – and an extension of the original fabric project. He covered the chair completely with a colourful, hand-painted swarm of dots which reproduced an enlarged section of a Pointillist painting by Paul Signac. The Proust Geometrica is an extension of this range. More of an art piece than a piece of design…
