Egg chair (1950s-lounched in1960) –
Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971)Materials/Manufacturing:
The shell is made of polyurethane foam with fibre glass reinforcement .
Base - injection-moulded aluminium, hand-stitched upholstery - fabrics by Danish textile
king Kvadrat or Happy (left) and Prince (right) 504 fabrics by Tord Boontje. It also
comes in leather. It takes several days and 1,300 stitches to make one chair.
Barcelona chair (1929) –
Ludwig Mies van der RoheMaterials/Manufacturing:
The frame is formed from strips of steel, which are shaped, welded and ground by hand
before being polished and chromed. It takes one person two days to sew the cushions
using 126 individual pieces of leather, taken from a complete hide. The cutter
determines the overall look of the cushions, as each piece of leather is a different shape
and size and varies in colour. It is available to buy in 841 standard leather colour options.
Panton Chair (1960s) –
Verner PantonMaterials/Manufacturing:
The solid plastic chair (reinforced polypropylene) is made using a process known as
injection moulding. The shell is UV and weatherproof, making it suitable for both
indoor and outdoor use, and it contains additives to prevent the brilliant colours from
fading. The Panton Chair comes in five different standard colours: black, blue, red,
white and yellow. But every year Vitra releases a limited-edition colour.

oil finish. The five cabinets are
inscribed in an orthogonal frame
defining the limits of the piece as
furniture and densely perforated
with five unique porous patterns.
Shadow Chair by Duffy
London
The chair integrates shadow into its
structure, at first glance it is a simple
wooden chair that seems to defy
gravity by standing upright while
only having two front legs, but on
closer inspection the shadow is part
of the chair and made from steel,
which is attached to a metal frame
built inside the chair. Available in
walnut and white birch.
Villain Chair by Suck UK
The Villain chair rests on a base
of chrome, steel, and aluminium,
and is covered in plush squares
upholstered in leather.

Inspiration
Furniture & Fittings Poppy Chair by Anna Janicka Interior Design 2nd year
Plan: chair design for a new flagship store
which will open in the near future for a
fashion designer, Amy Lynam. She
described her collection Anthem as dark,
urban, strong, conceptual and cosmopolitan
and my aim was to design
a chair with similar or the same qualities.
Idea: transformation of a poppy flower into a chair to create a feeling of outdoors and to bring Amy Lynam’s accent colours, black and
red into the urban appearance of the flagship store. These colours also emphasize the New York style (famous red brick, black fire
staircases) that my client is looking for. Straightening the edges of the flower produced a shape that blends with the Anthem clothing
style and with the interior of the store.

Model is made from
3mm foam board and
consists of two
pieces, model grid
and additional petal
added to the front.
The final appearance
is achieved by
spraying the model
with red paint and
clear lacquer, and by
adding accessories
(decorative light
fixture and pillow).

Materials and Manufacturing
Base of the Poppy Chair will be made of
injection-moulded (1*) Polypropylene (PP)
because of properties and aesthetics that
I want to achieve in my design.
Weight: Polypropylene is a light weight material
and the chair should not be very heavy.
Tensile strength: Its tensile strength is high. It
shows strong resistance towards stress and
cracking. It means the chair will easily carry
ballast and will not break.
Moisture Absorption: Polypropylene does not
get affected by moisture as its moisture
absorption is very low. It will not get stained very
easily.
Corrosion: Polypropylene also remains
unaffected by chemicals.
PP can be readily compounded or coloured in
the melt phase and formulated for specific
performances (extra stiffness, antistatic to
improve dusting and resistance to UV for
outdoor uses. It can be produced in variety of
colours but also in a high gloss finish – one of
the main reasons of my choice.
Accessories.
Pillow for the chair will be respectively shaped
and made of black leather with gloss finish.
Leather is also widely used in Amy Lynam’s
collections. It fits perfectly to the New York style
interior but most importantly it will perform slip
resistance while in contact with high gloss
finished plastic surface.
Accent lanterns (poppy buds) will be made of
black wrought iron and screwed to the chair
under the seat.
High gloss PP
Iron lamps
Black leather
1* Injection moulding – manufacturing process
where material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and
forced into a mould cavity where it cools and hardens
to the configuration of the mould cavity.

Flower of the 21st century,
Poppy lounge chair is made of recyclable
injection moulded red Polypropylene with
gloss finish and fixed foam filled seat
cushion upholstered in high quality black
leather. Two lanterns made of wrought iron
emphasize interesting shape of the chair
and gloss finish reflects their light.
Chair is strong, durable, antistatic,
moisture and stain resistant (for leather
maintenance read manufacturer
instructions). It can be used both indoor
and outdoor with a change of a cushion
material, electrical equipment is watertight
and also easy to uninstall if needed.
It comes in a wide range of colours so why
not personalize you own chair?
