apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Inspiration: Chair Whore

8.6.9 chair whore 1.jpgIf you, or anyone you know, has ever referred to themselves as a chair whore, then this is the site for you. This self-proclaimed chair porn site is a treat for anyone who enjoys hot, sexy chair design...

 
 

8.6.9 chair whore 2.jpgJoel and Maria Pirela, of Blue Ant Studio in Miami, Florida, have embraced their slightly obsessive lust for well designed seating and created Chair Whore, a site devoted strictly to images of beautiful chairs. These are the real things, though, no knockoffs here. The site is strictly images of sleek models from the hottest designers: Eames, Hans Wegner, George Nelson, you name it. The images aren't burdened by superfluous text--with a simple link to the source of each image, this site is devoted to unadulterated imagery of well appointed seating. And nothing more.

We love it.

So is whore the new sexy? You can label me a prude but I'm tired of the sexualization of, well, everything.

All the usual suspects. No Thonet, no Chippendale, no Shaker.

A woman I know furnished her studio apartment with a big bed and little, feminine chairs, so she'd have a lot of sex.

Does the word "whore" apply, and what type?

Wow. If you took away the Eames chairs you'd lose half the site.

Does chair 'therapy' come with this label? I have 3 complete sets of dining chairs, just bought a new dining table, and don't like any of my existing chairs with the table... guess who's going shopping? Ugh. I'm sick of chairs.
