Chairs and more - furniture you can relax in

When you think about chair design, there's actually a whole lot more to the discipline than simply the aesthetics of it. Think of the classic Eames designs - so much went into them that it's impossible to separate the love of design from the love the actual concept of the chair itself - and what you get is the confluence of the ergonomic, teh aesthetic, the physical, and beyond the physical - the construction of an object that almost disappears when it's being used.

Think of all the different types of seating and soon it becomes apparent that this is an area of design that's ubiquitous - from municipal parks to space stations. Although when in space the gravity's not a concern, and makes the design rules change more than a little...

Of course, an original Eames would be a collector item now. But there's still plenty of great design available these days that utilise the same level of design smarts to maximise the comfort of the user - relaxateeze recliners such as this one most definitely please the eye as well as give the kind of chair comfort this side of space.
