The Paddy Chair

We don’t want to give you the wrong idea, this is not turning into a Chair Blog (one of our must reads btw), but we found this one a little too late for our 10 Quirky Chairs post yesterday and we could wait one single minute to share with our readers.

UK designer Nick Melville designed the chair for a group exhibition at DesignersBlock London 2005.The exhibitions theme was “Dark Design”. He explains the chairs concept :

The Paddy Chair is a comfy upholstered chair with the theme of a padded cell. The enclosed shape is meant to offer an experience of safety and security, and give the user a sanctuary from the rapid pace and noise of everyday life. The chair is large enough to fit two people so you can share the quiet space with a friend.
