Neale Whitaker, Editor-in-Chief, Belle magazine ‘REGINA II’ ARM CHAIR by Paolo Rizzatto for Poltrona Frau, 2009 “This chair appeals on so many levels. I love the indulgence of the soft white leather and the sensuous shape, which curiously echoes both mid-century design and the classic French Bergere style. It feels glamorous, luxurious and modern.”
Nicole Johnson, Sales Manager VIC, Corporate Culture ‘PK9’ by Poul Kjaerholm for Fritz Hansen, 1960 “The ‘PK9’ Chair is my favourite not only because of its beautiful feminine shape but also for the story behind it. Kjærholm was inspired by the imprint left in the sand at the beach where his wife, Hannah, had been sitting. He used this shape to design and develop what I believe to be a truly elegant chair supported on a unique three-piece base. Design and romance!”
GaRry Suisted, Sales Manager NSW, Corporate Culture ‘CH29 SAWBACK’ CHAIR by Hans J Wegner for Carl Hansen & Sons, 1952 “My favourite furniture product in the Corporate Culture portfolio is from Carl Hansen, a company that reflects my admiration for the history and timeless design of Hans J Wegner. The ‘CH29 Sawbuck’ chair is as relevant today as it was almost 60 years ago... love it!”
Nana Lesiuk, Lesiuk Architects ‘CH07 shell’ chair by Hans J Wegner For carl hansen & sons, 1963 “The ‘CH07 Shell’ chair designed by Hans Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Sons since 1963 has always been a standout favourite. Crafted from ply and veneer, the spareness and simplicity of the materials belie the ingenuity of its design.”
