Oh come on, you must have a favourite chair leg right? Only the other day we were reminded of the splendid legs with their whimsically-shaped balled feet belonging to the Antelope chair, and that got us thinking about, well, chair legs. Whilst, for us, it's another of Race's designs - The Flamingo - that tops our All Time Favourite Chair Leg League Table, how could we not mention Friso Kramer's Result chair ..... with legs like these, its a non-mover at number two!

WE HAVE MOVED TO ...
Those are definitely some snazzy legs! I'll have to think long and hard to come up with my favorite leg...but I'm betting it will turn out to be something like Poul Jensen's Z chair or a piece by Jens Risom or Adrian Pearsall. Interesting...I hadn't realized how uncelebrated the poor chair leg really is.
ReplyDeleteGreat legs, indeed.
ReplyDeleteGood question! Personally, the back legs of Tapiovaara's Domus Chair get me every time.
