VITRA W.W. Stool Philippe Starck is best known for his erotic forms and his bizarre, often disingenuous public pronouncements. Starck's modern designs are unmistakable - saucy amoebic minimalism with and irreverent twist -- and revealing. A recurring motif in Starcks design vocabulary is the elongated horn shape, exemplified by the W.W. Stool (also known as 'standing aid'), designed in 1990 as part of a fantasy office environment for the film director Wim Wenders, and put into production by VITRA in 1992. The technique of hard casting allows the flowing organic form to beautifully capture the materials fluidity. Sand-blasted lacquered aluminum in blue-green finish.

ADELTA Tipi Chair $2,254.00 (includes shipping) Tipi was designed by the iconic designer Eero Aarnio in 2002. In designing it, he seemed to pose the question "what would design be without humor?"

After all, what goes for the Pony goes hand in hand for his bird friend; in keeping with Aarnio's playful philosophy he's quoted as saying "a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair!" Tipi is constructed of a metal shell covered by an upholstered molded foam body. 37"W x 27"D x 31"H, seat height 22"

VITRA Oson S Armchair Oson is a new family of office chairs. It reflects the latest technological developments and introduces a new, organic shape to the workplace. The chair automatically adjusts the backrest tension to accommodate the user's weight and sitting position. All Oson's functions are clear and intuitive - making it simple to adjust. In fact doing so is fun, as all the levers are soft to touch and easy to find. The outstanding elements are the aluminium mechanism beneath the seat and the organically shaped backrest frame, which holds the very flexible backrest and links it to the mechanics.

ADELTA Formula Chair $3,144.00 (includes shipping) The Formula Chair is the result of the challenge Eero Aarnio has had in mind for years: to combine the sculptural elements of his early fiberglass designs with the ergonomic solutions for comfortable seating. According to Aarnio, The Formula Chair is one of the best chairs he has ever designed. Slightly rocking back and forwards, it is the perfect chair for relaxing with a refreshing drink after a hard days work. "When viewing the Formula 1 Racer from above, there are two wide armrests on either side of the driver; looking from the side there is an over sized headrest. Once you remove the wheels, what is clearly left is the shape of the Formula Chair. While both are designed for movement, the car is more likely to win you the race!" 32"H x 50.5"D x 51"W

There has been a resurgence of interest during the last few years in the Danish designer, Verner Panton (1926-). An outspoken advocate of "space-age" living and libertarian lifestyles during the 1960s and 70s, Panton's designs in both lighting and furniture are again making stirring contributions to the spheres of contemporary interior living. Many are rapidly approaching the status of "design icons" of the 20th century. Crafted to the same standards as the highly collectible originals, this authorized re-issue of the RELAXER is made of oiled mahogany with polyurethane cushions upholstered in 100% Kvadrat wool. The inner cushion is a composition similar to latex, and will keep it's shape indefinitely for extended lounging.

Designed by Spaniard Javier Mariscal and manufactured in Italy, the modern JULIAN is representative of much of his whimsical designs. The JULIAN chair utilizes a child's imagination and intelligence; it is clear to the young mind that this object is a plaything and a chair, and the interaction between the two is extraordinary. (You may notice the resemblance to "KOBI," the Olympic mascot also designed by Mariscal).
