This morning RetroToGo.com has a post featuring the Enzo retro swivel chair by Darlings of Chelsea. This chair is so adorable, I love it and must have it. But that will have to come at another time when there is more than lint in my pockets.

*~*~*

Core 77 has a discussion going about what "design art" actually is, or isn't. Alice Rawsthorn wrote about it recently in the International Herald Tribune. "'Design-art' is a commercial phenomenon, not a cultural one. It's a label adopted by auction houses in the hope of flogging limited-edition furniture for higher prices than it would muster if relegated to the unfashionable category of 'decorative arts.' And it has been very effective, commercially at least. A new season of design sales starts Monday with the opening of the Design Miami/ Basel fair in Switzerland, followed by auctions in New York next week. Despite the purists' sneers, collectors' interest in 'design-art' is still increasing, and as the market matures, a less ditzy side to it is emerging."

Hmm, well I guess she has a strong opinion on the matter.

This has to be the coolest (or as Brae would say Cooliest) children's rocking chair I have ever seen!

This rocking chair made especially for your child artist has a pencil box armrest with sliding lid, a "flip-down" drawer beneath the seat for paper, markers, crayons and other art supplies and rotating color wheel at the top. The back of the chair which you sit against is also an 8 x 10 frame where your child can store their most favorite work of art for all to see (when they're not busy rocking of course).

Plus on the seat it has a cute little poem, "Apples are Red, Oceans are Blue, I love to make pictures, Especially for you! So give me some paper, I'll put on my smock, And start my next masterpiece, My Art Rocks!"

How perfectly adorable is that!?

Unfortunately it is too small for my little boy, but man he so would have had it if I had known about this a couple years ago!

Here's a link of you are interested in reading more about it!

"Fuwapica is high-tech furniture illuminating your favorite colorcaused by the pressure produced by you touching or sitting on it."

Okay, so this has to be one of the coolest chairs I have ever seen. I wonder how bright it would glow if I sat on it. Could you get it to blink if you jumped on it? Imagine how sweet musical chairs would be with glowing seats like this one.

Whoa, but what if you got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, and you walk into the room and the seat is glowing but no one is there. Spooky. And of course I WOULD think of something so bizarre. Haha.

"The chair for a child with the quality for an adult."

Le Baron is a children's chair for children between the age of 1 and approximately 10. They can come with or without legs and in a couple different colors and materials.

The designer's website states the following:
"They experience round, secure shapes to be cosy spaces, in which they can be seated in a sheltered surrounding. Above all the chair provides a sense of security."

How absolutely cute is this chair!? It is so perfect for the modern day child. So maybe they are ergonomically designed and give security, they are also adorable and look super comfy. Um...will they be making this in adult size?
