Desk chair quest

Saturday 7 May 2011

Over the years, I've gone through an incalculable number of desk chairs. None of them seemed quite right. Too hard, not enough back support, too cold... Finding the right desk chair isn't an easy feat.

Here's a little recap.

Eames for Herman Miller.


Bertoia for Knoll.

High end names and brands or not, they all proved disppointing on a daily basis.

So this afternoon, enter the 36 eur ebay version.

An anonymous 70s design, but already my tush is feeling the difference (I'm sitting on it right now). The seat cushion is deliciously cozy and comfy.

Mr. Watson seems to approve as well.

Some gratuitous additional photos of my 'work' space.

Here's Watson again. The only downside to this chair might turn out to be, that I actually gonna have to fight him for it...

  4. All the chairs look nice @ your desk. I have two questions... hope you can/ will answer :)
    From where is your big white planter, and on your balcony at the back, is it rhubarb? Thank you! And good luck by reclaiming your chair!

  7. Hello all and thank you for you lovely comments ! I'm happy to report that I'm still enjoying the chair very much. And so is Watson. So much so, that he's currently squeezed in between my bum and the backrest... No comment.
    Lavalotti - I find the Bertoia very comfortable (much more than the Eames chairs for instance), but unfortunately not enough to support my extensive computer surfing habit.
    Katja - the white planter is simply Ikea. From their Kardemumma range, with wich I'm totally in love :-) And yes, that is rhubarb on the balcony. But it's looking a bit sad at the moment. I need to feed it some compost. Poor thing!
