Famous Furniture 1

'Costes' Chair, Phillipé Starck, 1982

"The Costes chair has become a symbol of Starck’s much publicised style: simple, elegant and functional."

Alvar Aalto Chair '69, 1935

"Chair 69 is one of Artek’s most popular chairs, a universal wooden chair in the tradition of classic kitchen and café chairs. With a broad seat and supportive backrest, Chair 69 exudes durability and stability while retaining an elegance of line."

Alvar Aalto Stool E60, 1934 (Still in production)

"E60 is the most elemental of furniture pieces, equally suitable as a seat, table, storage unit, or display surface. Projecting a sense of relaxed familiarity, Stool E60 is equally suited to the home, public buildings, and educational facilities. The legs are mounted directly to the underside of the round seat without the need for complicated connecting elements. Thanks to its geometry, the stool can be stacked to save space in a spiralling tower sculpture."

Arne Jacobsen, 'Egg' Chair, 1960 (Still in production)

"Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg™ for the lobby and reception areas of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The commission to design every element of the hotel building, including the furniture, was the designer’s grand opportunity to put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practice. "
