Danish textile and furniture designer Sofie Brünner has designed the Blush chair.

BLUSH is a unique lounge chair that aims at stimulating the senses.

Working from the concept of haptic design (design that stimulate the sense of touch), BLUSH has a contrasting and playful appearance that invites the user to explore the materials, construction and comfortability. The chair consists of a faceted hard aluminium shell in which a perforated pattern has been laser-cut. Using a brush binding technique, the holes are upholstered with strips of hand printed felt. This results in a soft and tactile front upholstery and a pixel-like upholstered back.

Overall BLUSH has a surprisingly austere expression that is softened by the blushing felt loops that flourish across the chair.

Bao – as familiar as a welcoming embrace.

Bar stools appeared out of the necessity and no one can establish exactly who invented them or how this all started. It is known that the ancestor of today’s barstool is the three-legged wooden chair, which was the most used seating model at that time.

While the “ancestor” bar stools were simple, necessary furniture pieces, nobody expected them to take off to such a popularity. It all started in the 50s and 60s when you could find these tall chairs in almost every bar and restaurant. That’s the period when the materials, sizes, colors and styles started to mix up giving people more and more options from which to choose when purchasing a bar stool.

Nowadays bar stools are an important piece of furniture, used in both residential and commercial environment.

Before choosing a set of bar stools or even only a few pieces you should do a detailed research taking into account all the other pieces of furniture which they’ll have to be in harmony with.

• Metal or Wood?

Choosing the material these bar stools are made of is a really important matter which is not easy to decide due to many factors. First of all before choosing the material they are made of you should take into consideration all the important aspects such as : strength, durability, size, style, budget and the overall décor of the space.

Wooden bar stools have been around since the “creation of the world” and it is said that the wood bar furniture gives the place a warm, traditional look. Nowadays these bar stools come in a variety of colors, heights and upholstery options.

Metal bar stools have a more modern design and they appeared due to the necessity of a more sturdy and strong piece of furniture. Metal bar stools are more appealing to commercial use and also to outdoor use where the wood ones would not be able to last.

When choosing between metal or wood you have to consider features such as swivel or stationary, colors and heights but also not forgetting about the budget. It has to be mentioned the fact that the wooden bar stools are cheaper but also the metal ones are an investment worth making.

• Backless bar stools or not?

Backless bar stools have a few advantages which consist in the following :

- they use up less space

- a bit cheaper – due to the fact that they use less material

- the weakest part of a typical chair is the spindles that for them back of the chair and by eliminating that you get a stronger chair – it is said

- due to the back lack these chair are a bit lighter and thus easier to move around

Bar stools that have a back have also the following points in their favor:

- when talking about comfort I can say from my own point of view that bar stools with a back are my favorites. Back support can never be over rated due to the fact that it adds a great touch of comfort to the chair, so great it’s the touch that the backless ones are extremely uncomfortable.

- stools with a back tend to give people a more pleasant, stable and secure sitting experience – especially if we talk about people with mobility issues

- be careful when choosing a backless model because the seating size can be very small, try it out in your space before purchase

All in all when choosing the perfect bar stools be it for your home or for commercial use you have to take into account all of the above and also do not forget that they have to be in harmony with the rest of the décor. Good luck in choosing the perfect bar stool chair which lasts long and satisfies all your requirements.

This unusual burned furniture idea comes form Kaspar Hamache, a young designer from Belgium. The project is called ‘Ausgebrannt’, which in German means “burned out”.

Made out of tree trunks, these small, but functional stools and tables were intentionally burned in order to create an uncommon aesthetic effect. Why use paint and dedicate half a day to making a chair look good, when you can burn things instead? We don’t know about you guys, but we happen to find the outcome interesting and think this type of furniture set would go nicely in a small garden or even in some public spaces. This is also the type of “do-it-yourself” design, so if you like the photos below, need a few extra seating items and have some wood in your back yard, feel free to experiment!
