Abu's walk NO.26

-The Spirituality of Meowmi's Life-

"You sat down with your butt,

They are all works by world-class masters. ”

Everyone wants to buy a good bed.

There doesn't seem to be any disagreement.

After all, it takes up one-third of our lives.

But the chair is a good place for a big butt.

It just needs to look good and be seatable.

So the screen of the popular online models on Taobao is full,

Do you want retro or simple?

It seems to be pretty good to buy anything you want.

But Abu thinks,

When you sit in a chair and sway for an afternoon,

At least we should know who created it?

You may all be familiar with these chairs in Abul.

To be honest, they are not from the same era as everyone else. Most of them are already quite old, but they have always been the most beautiful chairs in the world.

Po?ng  | A classic that IKEA has sold for 40 years

Abu dares to say that half of the people who go to IKEA have slept on this chair called Bon, and the other half have not, probably because they are afraid that it will break if they sit on it...

Among the chairs that can be bought for a few hundred yuan, this one is quite interesting. Abu once carried it home and adjusted it himself. When he sat on it for the first time, he was so careful that he didn't dare to use any force.

But later on, when I was tired, I would just lie down like Ge You.

▲ Mechanical test of Bonn chair

This cantilevered U-shaped design is extremely strong, even if you put on some weight in the fall. Most importantly, it fully meets people's imagination of the kind of shaky and leisurely feeling.

It seems that having this chair already means you have a perfect afternoon.

But few people know its origin. Even Noboru Nakamura, the chief designer of the Bonn chair, was not the inventor of this structure.

In fact, the prototype of this chair is the work of another chair lover, the master Alvar Aalto - the Paimio chair.

▲ Hey, the chair’s expression-_-, it’s also very relaxed

At that time, he was designing a sanatorium in a small town in Finland. Patients needed a good rest but did not want to lie in bed all day, so of course they needed a good chair.

So this classic chair, which was called the "convalescent chair" at the time, was created. It was not until 1933 that an improved suspended version was introduced.

▲ The master was also very handsome when he was young

In fact, Abu thinks that the name “recuperation chair” is very vivid. You can be cured just by lying on it. Isn’t that enough to prove how comfortable it is?

From now on, when I lie down in a chair and don’t want to move, I will tell my family that I am recuperating…

▲ The improved version looks cooler

Of course, this tribute model of IKEA has been around for 40 years. Noboru Nakamura, who worked at IKEA at that time , has also run his own company.

Although the world has changed, the chair that was invented in 1933 is still swaying in ordinary people's homes.

This is probably the charm of classics.

By the way, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bonn chair, IKEA specially launched a commemorative version with more beautiful colors and cushions.

The commemorative editions are sold out while supplies last, so if you love it, you might as well pick a special one.

· The Chair   | You are the only one in the world ·

Abu once learned in his English textbook that "the" can only be used in front of something when it is unique.

Just like this chair, it’s called The Chair.

▲ The Queen of Denmark used to sit on it. It was so elegant.

Although all chairs are called chair, only this one can be added with the word "the", whether it is Western or Eastern. People who have seen it say, well, this is the chair, which can be called perfect.

If you take a closer look at its magnificent beauty, you will find that it looks a little familiar.

Well, if the Nixon and Kennedy campaigns were too far away from everyone, then Obama should be able to make everyone realize that this is a real presidential chair.

▲ You can search for "presidential chair" on Taobao, and you will find so many knockoffs.

This chair is called "The Chair" and was designed by Hans Wagner, one of the four great Danish designers, known as the "Master of Chairs".

He started as a carpenter apprentice at the age of 14, made his first chair at the age of 15, and entered the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts at the age of 22, majoring in... carpentry.

He did nothing else in his life except researching chairs with his good friend Borge Mogensen.

▲ The friendship of beautiful boys across centuries~

The Chair was originally called the round chair. The chair ring is 2 meters long and is made by steam bending, surrounding you with the most gentle curve. Later, it was rated as the most beautiful chair in the world by an American magazine and was renamed The Chair.

Hans Wagner once said that the inspiration for the chair came from, and the first one he designed was actually The China Chair.

The "The" series also has an animal version: the peacock chair, which not only looks good with its graceful curves and elegant open back, but is also extremely comfortable when you lie on it.

This chair, designed in 1947, would look perfectly at home in a modern home.

Even more gentle than the Peacock Chair is the Teddy Bear Chair, which is also the most popular one of Master Hans Wagner.

Because when you sit on it, it feels like a little bear is gently hugging you from behind.

Hans Wagner once said, A chair is only finished when someone sits in it.

The reason why each of his chairs is so stunning is probably because his original intention of making people sit comfortably has never changed.

· Eames Chair   | The most familiar dining table and chair ·

As soon as the chair appeared, Abu thought of a song called "The Most Familiar Stranger".

You can see it in shopping malls, restaurants and even on the dining table of friends' houses. I really want to ask, is Abu the only one who feels this way?

Although the chairs designed by the two designers above are both classics that cannot be surpassed, when it comes to popular internet celebrity style, Eames Chair ranks first and no one dares to compete with it.

But this chair is already in its 50s or 60s. (Internet celebrities don’t have to be young.)

Mr. and Mrs. Eames, designers of the Eames Chair , can be described as a perfect couple.

As a furniture designer, Eames married the painter Ray Keyser. After that, all of his design works were basically helped by his wife, and the fruits of their love were endless.

Starting with the classic model, Eames Chair has released nearly ten models based on its iconic chair legs. Each model has become an Internet celebrity...

I have to admit that it goes well with many styles of home design. No matter what kind of dining table you use, it seems to be able to play a finishing touch on the edge.

Ant Chair  | The sexiest chair

As for its sexiness, this picture that Abu found is enough to explain it all.

No one can resist the charm of the Ant Chair, which is also one of the most popular Danish furniture.

This chair was created in 1952 by the Danish national treasure master Arne Jacobsen, who likes to use "precise" calculations to reflect the beauty of nature.

Does it seem a bit contradictory? But nature has its own laws, doesn't it?

This chair, inspired by ants, has evolved in different ways over the past fifty years, with smoother curves that look like a woman's sexy back.

Legend has it that this chair was the subject of a political scandal because, like the heroine, it was too sexy.

▲ British Minister’s Lover

Although these chairs have been constantly paid tribute to and imitated, they have never been surpassed. If you also want to have a perfect afternoon, sit on a chair and read a book.

Why not find your own unique Chair first?

———————Good night video————————

IKEA Bonn chair 40th anniversary,

I made a film called "Encounter".

It's a story about a chair designer.

Abu thinks it is very much in the style of Wong Kar-wai.

Retro and nostalgic.
