Disk Chair by Karim Rashid

20080624disk1.jpgDesigner Karim Rashid is no stranger to the outdoors. Grobal, his self-watering planter, cares for our delicate floras but the Disk Chair was made to cradle us.

Made of fiberglass over a steel frame, this chair is ideal for poolside or patio. We feel its curvy flattened shape is inherited from...

 
 

20080624disk2.jpgWe see the Disk Chair as the love child of an everyday spoon rest and the classic Panton chair. Ferlea, the manufacturer, confirms that we're not too far off because the design is meant to look like a "spoon folded."

The chair is available in black, yellow, or white, and comes with a single foam and polyester cushion. We found it at Owo Italia for just over $2,000 (European pricing).

lovely but better suited for the shade. You'd be a one person sweatfest sitting in one of those on a sunny day.

It is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
