5 museum worthy design chairs

The nice thing about chairs is that they do not take up too much space, you can buy one piece (which is usually cheaper than a sofa) and if you choose well, you have a striking design object in your home that doubles as a piece of furniture. Here are 5 prime examples which are easily mistaken for modern art.

1. La Redonda // Bodegón Cabinet

1. La Redonda is a brick red, powder coated steel object by Barcelona based architecture and design studio Bodegón Cabinet. Based on a geometric circle, the shape is folded to create a three dimensional chair. Seen from a distance, the circular shape remains. This clean and minimal item can also be used as a side table or simply as an eye catching piece of abstract art.

5. Roly-Poly Chair // Faye Toogood

5. The Roly-Poly Chair by Faye Toogood, a London based designer, looks a little like an eggcup. The round cream coloured shape with chunky legs is made from strong and durable fibreglass. The dining chair variant is available in white, charcoal and raw fibreglass as well, to make a neutral coloured mixture of cloud like furniture.
