Falb


A chair with space for personal things
We all know that a chair is more than just a place to sit. It is also a place to set things down, hang your coat and bag, etc. The problem is that there isn’t usually space for anything on the seat once you sit down, your coat usually ends up on the ground, the bag strap won't stay on the chair back, or worse the chair is turned over by the weight.

How about a chair that accepts the reality of its multi-functions? Austrian designers Bruckner/Klamminger/Moritsch have come up with an elegant solution.

Falb is a chair which offers some space to place one's personal things. One stays near it and still has enough room. Its shape differs from the symmetry of usual chairs. Its back carries jackets, [bags], etc. In order to take weight its right chair-leg makes a side-step. It show its individual character.

According to the designer's description (its right chair-leg makes a side-step), it would seem that the images are flipped, but who are we to go changing things?

I just noted that there hadn't been any comments on this chair yet, which I thought was a shame. I feel that this is a brilliant design, and also that with the right marketing, this design could really catch on. I, myself, plan on attempting to craft something like this as I have just taken up woodworking, however I'm quite sure my raw style won't exactly resemble this perfect piece of furniture!!
