Designer chairs - luxury furniture for home and garden

Chairs are considered a familiar attribute in almost every room. Basically, such furniture only complements the design of the room, without focusing on itself. Designer chairs are an exception: luxury furniture for home and summer cottages is a real work of art.

Currently, there are many different models of chairs, differing in design, purpose and other individual elements.

The following models are distinguished by purpose.

• For the office;
• For home;
• Kitchen;

• For the living room;
• To the bedroom;
• For giving;

• For the dining room;
• For garden and veranda;
• For the bar and so on.

In the office, as a rule, products of various models are used for employees, visitors and the manager. The furniture for employees has a classic, not very catchy design. Basically, such products are covered with soft material and have a lifting mechanism.

The executive chair has more impressive dimensions. These chairs are made from expensive and high quality materials. The design of the product can be both strict and laconic, as well as original author's - it all depends on the preferences of the owner of the furniture.

For giving, a suitable product would be a model made of plastic or solid teak. These chairs are moisture resistant, they can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Dining models for the kitchen should have not only an attractive design, but also a comfortable design. Such models are made mainly of wood or plastic. Kitchen chairs often have a padded seat and back. Bar models differ from all others primarily in their height: they can be significantly higher than standard chairs.

Design chairs are divided into the following types.

• Whole;
• Collapsible;
• Stackable;
• Foldable.

Solid furniture is considered to be more durable and reliable compared to collapsible furniture. The difference between such models lies in the method of fastening the parts: one-piece products have a homogeneous inseparable structure, and the elements of collapsible structures are fastened together with screws and nuts.

Stackable chairs are easy to store. Such items can be stacked in the same pile, which together will not take up more space than one such chair.

The folding model mechanism folds like scissors, and during storage they take up more space than stacked products.

Design models differ in the following elements:

• Seats;
• Armrests;
• Frame.

Orthopedic models should be noted separately.

The seats of the chairs differ in the degree of rigidity, as well as the armrests (there are models without armrests at all). The frame has differences in material and manufacturing method. Orthopedic models belong to a separate type of designer chairs.

Designer chairs are made from a wide variety of materials (often combined). The strength and reliability of the furniture will depend on the selected material and its quality. Chairs made of plywood or wood are classic models for the living room. Wooden chairs can create an atmosphere of coziness in the room.

By the type of production, they can be as follows.

• Glued from veneer.
• Bent. With this manufacturing method, the wood is first steamed, bent and then dried in a certain way.
• Joiners. Such products are made from pieces of wood, connecting them together with drawers.
• Wicker. Made from vine or rattan.

Plastic models were originally used in public places and hotels. Currently, PVC products are often found in apartments. At first glance, transparent plastic looks like glass. Such a model will not visually fill a lot of space and will be an excellent solution for a small kitchen. Metal chairs are more durable and massive.

The standard chair height depends on its purpose and has the following parameters.

• Chairs for the interior - 45-55 cm;
• Semi-bar chairs - 65-70 cm;
• Bar chairs - 75-80 cm.

Designers use a wide variety of color solutions in the manufacture of chairs, the choice of color depends only on the role that the product will play in the design of the room. To create contrast, the color of the chair should be vibrant and different from the basic tones used in the design.

If the model should become an invisible object in the room, not distracting attention to itself and at the same time in harmony with other decor elements and furniture, transparent models or chairs, the shade of which is close to the color of the walls, will be a good option.

In a room made in soft colors, chairs of gentle shades (white, beige, pale pink, pale blue) will look most harmonious. Furniture in pastel shades will complement the overall warm atmosphere of the room

Designer models can be made in a wide variety of styles - from classic to modern. Industrial style products are made of metal. This model looks rather rough, but at the same time it is very comfortable and durable.

Chairs in vintage and Provence styles are made of wood and often have soft upholstery. The wooden frame of the product is often artificially aged, which does not affect the strength and reliability of the chair. Classic models are versatile and appropriate in almost any interior.

High-tech furniture is distinguished by non-standard shapes and original color solutions. In the manufacture, combinations of a variety of materials are used.

Designer chairs can be made not only by renowned designers. You can create a unique model with your own hands. One of the easiest ways to implement author's ideas is to decorate ready-made furniture. Fabric is often used to decorate the seat and back of a chair. First of all, preference is given to durable, reliable fabrics. If the chair is to become a separate decorative element, the choice can be made in favor of silk fabric. Additionally, the upholstery of the chair can be decorated with beads or ribbons.

The number of various models of designer chairs is so great that it is enough just to choose the right option for any room design. In addition, designer furniture can be made to order.

Not all design products are universal and suitable for all types of spaces. For country-style design, the use of plastic chairs will be inappropriate. Even the most expensive and attractive plastic furniture will break this interior design.

Wooden chairs are very versatile. Such products look harmoniously in the interior of a classic type and in Provence design, but they can harm high-tech or modern styles. Also, for the Provence style, metal models will be an excellent option, which will emphasize the exquisite interior of the room. For modern and high-tech styles, laconic furniture made of metal or plastic is suitable. The disadvantage of such products can be called the fact that they are quite cold and tough.

When designing a room, sometimes they resort to non-standard solutions.

When choosing a suitable model, first of all, you should rely on the purpose and interior of the room to be decorated. Incorrectly selected furniture can disrupt the harmony in the design of the room. It is important to determine the role that the designer chair will play in the interior: it will take on the role of an accent or become a discreet object in the room.

Additional nuances when choosing are the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the product.

• Height;
• Depth;
• Width;
• Rigidity;
• The weight.

The standard seat height assumes that the person's legs (bent at a 90-degree angle) should rest on the floor. The depth of the seat should be at least 45 cm. The optimal seat width is 40 cm. How convenient and comfortable the operation of a particular product will be depends on the degree of seat rigidity.

One of the main advantages of designer furniture is exclusivity and original appearance. Such products have aesthetic value and reflect the taste and inner world of the owner. Each design model is unique. Only high-quality materials are preferred for manufacturing.

The price is due not only to the use of expensive materials, but also to the exclusivity of the product itself. Many design models are impractical and serve only as a decoration function.

For standard sized kitchens, lightweight solid chairs are an acceptable option. In a small kitchen, collapsible models are most convenient to use. It is important that the dining chair is easy to care for and clean.

Quite often, bar stools are purchased for the kitchen or in studio apartments. For such a model, it is necessary to have a bar counter in the room, otherwise the chair will be an extra item in the interior. Bar furniture is made from a variety of materials: wood, metal, plastic.

In the country, chairs are used mainly for decorating open verandas and outdoor areas. Such models must meet high requirements for moisture resistance and resistance to mechanical and natural (climatic) influences. Chairs for summer cottages are mainly made of metal and plastic.

Living room chairs can differ significantly in size from kitchen and outdoor models. Wooden upholstered chairs with armrests will emphasize the elegance and prestige of the interior design. Models made of metal and plastic are appropriate to use in a living room made in modern styles.

Design furniture from foreign manufacturers is especially popular.

Interesting chair models were invented by many designers: Frenchmen Ervan and Ronan Bouroullechi, Konstantin Grchik from Germany, Canadian Frank Gerry and so on.

Design furniture of American and Italian production is highly appreciated. In most cases, manufacturers from the USA and Italy make designer chairs entirely by hand. Such products are very popular among connoisseurs of luxury furniture.

The cheapest alternative may be furniture from China.

From the reviews, you can find out that Chinese designer chairs are not made from the highest quality materials. As the advantages of such products, one can only name a low price and an original appearance.
