- More Info - This
is humours chair is utterly iconic and timeless. It challenged the idea that
furniture is a solid, permanent feature in a home as this can be easily
deflated and put away. It was designed to be reasonably cheap, disposable and
fun. It is light enough to be used in a swimming pool. It was the first
inflatable chair to be mass produced and even though there have been many
copies and other versions designed but this one is still the best. It is part
of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The
original comes in clear, yellow or red.

Info - This chair was
designed for the Swiss National Exhibition ‘Landesausstellung’ which was nicknamed ‘Landi’
which was how the chair got it’s name. It is Coray’s
best known piece. This is a very light, strong and durable chair. It only
weighs 7 pounds (3kg) and is stackable, making it very practical. The back and
seat are made from a single piece of aluminium and the legs are screwed on. The
holes punched in the seat and back make the chair lighter and create graphic
patterns and shadows. It is suitable for use inside and outside, but is mainly
used outside. It is available in either plain aluminium or with a white or
cream finish.
