Sugar chair by Pieter Brenner

Designer Pieter Brenner has designed a chair made of Sugar! yes a sugar chair...

Odd yes but it's a great looking chair.

From reading the press on the site it pretty new (2011) and the info is a little low on if you stick to it or the conditions the sugar chair must be kept in.. Will bees like it ? :)

The sugarchair can be shaped by its owner into a personalized and unique form. Thru the shaping and the treatment of its owner, the sugarchair will turn into a very unique object.

Com.P.AR Swivel Chair.

Great looking Swivel Armchair by what's a new brand to me.

Compar OR COM.P.AR is an Italian designer brand.

COM.P.AR was established in 1984 and, in the course of time it has become a production company of considerable interest and importance in the furnishing complements sector.

I really like Com.p.ar furniture but the names of the products let alone the name company with the dots cause a few problems. The great looking Swivel chair picture is yes called "Swivel chair" .. anyway still like it..

Flux chairs system from padhome

So why Flux, having had a good read of the lit sent to my from padhome (thanks) flux is a made up word from the word "flexible" and "luxury"
