Do you leave some time for reading now?

In this era of screen swiping, everyone is attracted by all kinds of entertainment videos. Various apps drive everyone forward, but as they walk, they may get lost.

It is necessary to leave yourself some quiet time to read. You may want to set up a cozy reading corner for yourself , calm down and read a book carefully.

Today I will introduce you to several classic leisure chairs , providing some materials for decorating a reading corner. (Other styles of leisure chairs will be updated later)

| Bear Chair |

1959 [Denmark] Designed by Hans J Wegner

The wide backrest has protruding wings on both sides, and the armrests are thick and strong, like bear paws. There is also a space below, so that the legs can move easily even when sitting sideways. The legs of the chair are shorter than those of ordinary chairs, so when you sit down, your body can relax quickly.

The Bear Chair was designed with various lazy and casual sitting postures in mind, so it doesn’t matter how you sit . Even if you accidentally fall asleep while reading, the wide and thick backrest will still make you feel very comfortable.

| Rocking Chair |

1984 [Denmark] Designed by Hans J Wegner

The wide angles from bottom to top and from back to front give the chair a perspective feel, making it look larger than it actually is. In addition, the ropes from the backrest are not tied in knots but are secured with metal buckles , which makes it feel softer. The bottom support of the chair legs is curved, so it can be gently rocked back and forth. The headrest that supports the head can be moved left and right, and the pillowcase can be removed and washed.

The joy of a rocking chair is something we have experienced since childhood, just like a cradle when we were babies. Putting it at home instantly increases the joy of reading, and I guess we will all fall in love with reading. A rocking chair, a book, and as it sways gently, it seems that we can hear the nursery rhyme: "Rocking, rocking to Grandma's Bridge..."

| Easy Chair |

1955 [Denmark] Designed by Hans J Wegner

The armrests are streamlined, smooth and flat, and fit the arm well. There is a spring design under the seat cushion, which plays a good buffering role. The seat cushion is soft, which improves the comfort. The chair feet are designed with a thicker convex belly in the middle, which looks light and simple, a typical Nordic style.

This chair is very suitable for homes that do not pursue a sense of design. It is calm and unobtrusive, and the style is elegant . As long as you choose the right cushion color according to the color of the home, you can get it right away without having to think too much about the matching problem. If you use it as the protagonist of the reading corner, I guess everyone in the family will love it because it is very approachable .

| Butterfly Chair |

1938 [Argentina] Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan, and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy designed the

The shape of this chair resembles a flying butterfly, so it is called the butterfly chair. The legs of the chair are all folded into a frame with steel pipes, and the soft surface of leather and textiles is directly hung on it. The two tips of the high end of the frame form the backrest, and the two tips of the low end are the armrests. The high and low ends form a concave part, which fits the back and buttocks, and is very comfortable to sit on.

The butterfly chair is actually an outdoor chair. It is recommended as a leisure chair from the perspective of small apartments. It doesn't matter if there is not enough space at home. This foldable chair can solve the problem. When you want to read, just open it under the light and you will have a reading corner instantly. The combination of leather and steel pipes has a full industrial texture. It is worth buying for owners who pursue individuality .

| Egg Chair |

1958 [Denmark] Designed by Arne Jacobsen

The shell of the Egg Chair is reinforced with glass fiber and polyurethane foam, and the outer skin or outer cloth is filled with shaped cotton, which is comfortable and elastic. The chair legs are made of star-shaped aluminum base, which can rotate 360 ​​degrees and has a tilt function. The backrest and armrests are symmetrically designed, giving you a full sense of wrapping when you sit on it.

The shape is like a broken egg standing upright , and the overall shape is soft and arc-shaped, giving people a very strong sense of security. If a girl with a slightly petite figure sits on it, she will probably be "shielded". This shape is comfortable, quiet, and self-contained. Whether it is used for reading or taking a nap, it is an excellent choice.

|Swinging Chair |

1959 [Denmark] Designed by Nanna Ditzel and her husband

The swing chair on the left is probably the earliest style, designed in 1859 and still in mass production today. The original design was for outdoor chairs, but many designers are now making modifications based on the original , such as the swing chair made of woven cloth in the picture on the right.

After the renovation, it appears as a leisure chair. Hanging it in the house not only adds a literary atmosphere , but also becomes a small leisure space. It adds a different feeling to the space at home and makes you feel better.

Some people may ask, can a reading corner allow people to calm down and read?

Of course not, reading still depends on self-consciousness. It's just that we are no longer students, and there is no reading atmosphere like in school. If you set up a reading corner at home, it may serve as a reminder. When you see it, you may remember the original intention of setting it up.

Just imagine, when a busy day is over, take a bath, make a cup of tea, turn on the light in the reading corner, pick up a book, curl up in a comfortable lounge chair, read quietly, put the unpleasant things behind, and just wander in the ocean of books. Isn't this a wonderful feeling?

Keep yourself in an empty cup state, maintain good reading habits, and keep learning, and you will become more and more proud of yourself.
