I haven’t seen a Chaise Lounge (day bed) that really grabbed me in some time. Yellow Diva, a collaborative effort between an English designer and an Australian architect based in Melbourne, deal with the form beautifully in “The M Series.” With heavy oak legs and worsted wool upholstery, the series has all potential to appear overly heavy. But, the large buttons and open shallow curve to the arm rests provide a touch of whimsy and lighten the overall mood. Complementing the Chaise Lounge, Yellow Diva also offers an arm chair, sofa, and ottoman. The ottoman might be the ugly ducking, while the others are a marvel right out the womb. (via Contemporist).

Fashion designer Carolyn Fieber’s “The Kautsch Collection” brings the work of her great great-grandfather into a contemporary vocabulary. In 1895, Johann Bretz created his first couches. His company was then located in the Rhine River town of Gensingen, and it still maintains the same directive to produce fine hand-made upholstered furniture. Fieber’s collection includes sofas, armchairs, stools, and rugs. (via Contemporist).

BoConcept’s 2010 line of furnishings and home accessories has landed in shops. A good amount of seating furniture is included, and while the sofas are lovely this post will just highlight a few of the armchairs and single seaters. Above is the Rock Airmchair, simply built of a stainless steel frame. Other chose chairs are the Imola Chair and Prato Chair. The latter comes in two back configurations (low and high). Check them out after the jump.

For a look at BoConcept’s 2010 home accessories line head over to Coolhunting to read Karen Day’s report.

Philippe Stark’s Louis Ghost Chair translates the formal geometry of an historic style with injection-molded polycarbonate construction. Most famously, the chair is clear. But wait, Kartell has produced a limited edition pink version with a portait of everyone’s favorite American doll, just in time for Barbie’s 50th birthday. To put it bluntly, it is all a bit strange. If it does strike your fancy, head to Colette.

A collaborative effort between Modernica Studio and Peter Shire, the Prince Charles Chair collection places wire and fiberglass seats on walnut bases. Wire stretchers lend strength to the legs, and the three options for seating (wire, armchair and side) produce a good range. The chairs are now available direct from Modernica.

Sergio Rodrigues’ Diz armchair is seating furniture of a sculptural quality. Hand made of eucalyptus wood. (via Daily Icon).

Designed by Getano Pesce the Shadow Chair takes a free form shape from directly expanding polyurethane into fabric. The result is different every time, and reminiscent of the floats you may have chilled in the pool with as a child. Certainly not to every taste, but no doubt an intriguing bit of furnishing. Available from MOSS.

Norman Cherner designed this bent plywood Armchair in 1958. The unique aspect here is that the laminate is of graduated thickness, leading to a structural soundness and improved comfort. Reissued by Cherner Chair Company, owned and operated by Norman’s sons, the Armchair is fabricated in the USA. (Via Retro To Go).
