chairs are architects postcards
many architects designed one ore many themself, chairs. the simple thing that lifts your butt from the floor. there are billions of them out their and I’ve once heard that if you look at ones chairs at home you can see into their soul. well Iwouldn’t go that far but still it makes a huge difference if you siton a good or a bad one.
the viennese thonet chairs are famous and it’s not a big secret that many viennese people love chairs, even collect them.
sitzfläche (siting surface) is a viennese shop / atelier who sell, renovate and collect all in the same time. they have an nice collection of design from 1900-1980. I think it’s worth a visit if you live in Vienna and if not you can still visit their homepage and love these chairs!

words & architecture
written words and architecture have a certain or uncertain connection depending on the context. the belgian architect and artist Bassam El Okeily is playing with this connection on his web page. one can critique the content of the text but the beauty of the graphics remains. take a look and comment your opinion.
