Shaggy Bean Bag Chair Cover Icelandic Sheepskin - Made in Australia
Located in Dural, AU
Imagine the kids relaxing in this eco-friendly and genuine sheepskin beanbag while they read, learn or play their favorite video game. This large and long wool shaggy bean bag chair is handcrafted from the finest long wool Icelandic sheepskin resulting in the most amazing shaggy and tactile appearance with a wool range of 5 to 6 inches (8 - 15cm) in length. The natural white color is unaltered, preserving the natural beauty of the original wool color, as the Natural white may come with hints of a rich creamy undertone. Sheepskin qualities are underestimated, as they are cool in the summer, as the wool hollow fiber absorbs heat and releases the heat over seven times faster than a synthetic fiber while in the colder months, the wool warming properties keep the body snuggle and warm making this sheepskin bean bag chair the perfect comfort décor for all year round. Whether styled in the kid's bedroom to help with learning, placed in the living room for additional seating, or in the cinema room for the ultimate gaming experience, this long wool shaggy bean bag will be loved and enjoyed by all. Our Icelandic sheepskins are carefully sourced directly from Europe, using only natural by-products and eco-friendly processing, without the use of harsh and toxic chemicals that are damaging to the environment and humans, making them safer and healthier inside the home for everyone to enjoy. Each Icelandic sheepskin beanbag chair is individually handcrafted in Australia by eluxury home with expertise and craftsmanship and most importantly made to strict child safety law. The sheepskin beanbags come with an additional internal cotton bean fill cover, a safety child lock zipper and a genuine leather base for extra durability and easy care. Eluxury home are artisan makers of authentic sheepskin beanbags and offers this design in a collection of long wool sheepskin colors, View image gallery for color selection. This sheepskin bean bag does not come with bean fill but can be requested upon additional charge. The dimensions of the sheepskin beanbag are calculated according to the pattern but will differ according to the amount of fill used.

Hand-Carved Sculptural Chair in Laminated White Washi Paper and Milk Paint
Located in New York, NY
One-of-a-kind, sculptural chair finished in milky white laminated washi paper, hand-made by Simone Bodmer-Turner in 2023. Known for graceful and poetic work that balances in between functional and artistic, Bodmer-Turner's "Chair III (Paper)" is as usable as it is visually and spatially compelling. The third-ever chair made by the artist, the singular piece is hand-carved from a wooden substrate, and gleams in Bodmer-Turner's signature stark white textural surface finish, achieved here by coating milk paint over laminated Japanese Washi paper. The wispy, gravity-defying forms of Bodmer-Turner's work is as much about minimalism as it is about movement, and the artist's reverence for history is apparent in the swooping silhouette of "Chair III", paying homage to Carlo Bugatti's celebrated "Cobra Chair" (1902), in which the seat and back are one continuous S-curve, entirely covered in hand-painted parchment paper and embellished with copper decorations. Available for immediate placement, this unique piece is a sophisticated yet playful object that adds a sculptural element to any space. About Simone Bodmer-Turner Born in 1990 in Berkeley, California, Simone Bodmer-Turner’s multidisciplinary studio is built around the foundation of her iconic line of abstract, ceramic vases which she first introduced in 2018. Articulations of form, those debut pieces were designed as timeless works in conversation with the power of negative space. Following the founding of her studio, Simone evolved her exploration of the medium into organic ceramic sculptures, as well as paintings that are somewhere between assemblage and land art using local soil and plant material. In 2021, Simone made her foray into furniture design introducing Chair I and in 2022 she released Chair II along with an oversized credenza and a series of one-of–a-kind lighting works that were presented as part of the artist’s first solo exhibition — TAKE PART IN — at Matter Projects in New York. In the years that followed, Simone has moved her practice from Brooklyn, New York to rural Massachusetts where she is honing her sculptural medium, designing custom interiors in plaster, and developing a body of multidisciplinary furniture that straddles the line between art and design. In the spring of 2024, she will present her second solo exhibition entitled ‘A Year Without a Kiln’ at Emma Scully...

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs

Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.

Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.

When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.

Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
