Inspired by Thonet chairs

August 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Design

For some time now I have been looking for new kitchen chairs. While surfing I came to the site of Sjoerd Vroonland a Dutch designer.

Sjoerd Vroonland is in his fourth year of Product Design at the School of  Arts in Arnhem, The Netherlands.

He was inspired by the traditional and early industrial furniture designs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially the collection of Thonet chairs. With those in mind Sjoerd devised new connection methods.

This is what he says about the technique ; “With wooden beads attached to each other – like a ball-joint –threading them and  putting tension on them, I make a chair frame.”

The designs are very innovative and so far only for sale in Coming Soon in Arnhem, The Netherlands.. There is a nice site with lots of exciting designs from chairs to jewelry to clothes hangers.
