After reading, research on the internet and choose your darlings! Modern, this piece created in the 1980s by French designer Philippe Starck was designed to decorate a Parisian cafe of the same name.

Originally, it is an upholstered chair with a dark wood back and three sloping feet, but nowadays it is not at all difficult to find models inspired by this chair that have other colors and designs that resemble the original model and that will also please you a lot.

It is not by chance that the Fledermaus Cabaret Chair has this retro style so elegant and beautiful. It was originally conceived in the early 20th century, by the hands of Austrian designer and architect Josef Hoffmann. The piece of wood was created especially for the famous Vienna Cabaret Fledermaus, and Hoffmann was inspired by the bold and thin lines of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Tulipa is one of the most remembered upholstered chairs, in addition to being a true design icon.

The piece was created in 1956 by the Finnish designer and architect Eero Saarinen and it does not have this name by chance: the idea, since the beginning, was that the piece resembled the tulip flower with a thin base and a rounded back, as if it were blooming .

The traditional model is white and red, but nowadays it is possible to find the Tulipa chair with upholstery in different colors, which makes it even more fun.

The Klismos chair is one of the oldest on our list and perhaps one of the first in history, because there are records of this piece in sculptures and paintings from Ancient Greece. The chair model has its feet curved outward, seeming not to support the weight of those who are sitting on it, so the design of the model came to show the grandeur of the Gods and their importance for an entire civilization. Currently, in addition to the traditional wooden Klismos, it is possible to find the piece in metal, padded and in fiber, which leaves it with a more modern style but without taking away its scent.
