Working in the "Living" team is both a blessing and a curse. Lots of beautiful things are added to the shop every day - too many! But nobody has enough space at home. But we can still build castles in the air: there's enough room for lots of furniture! Here you can find out which chairs we would most like to set up in our home.
Timo Hadaschik, product manager for tables and chairs, favours Scandinavian design and has his eye on a simple model from normann COPENHAGEN:
The combination of wood and white is a successful mix that would bring lightness to my desk. But the "Form" from normann COPENHAGEN is not only a good solution for the home office. It is also a great companion in the dining area. Whether with or without armrests, with wooden or metal legs... it's simply fun.
Stephanie Tschan, product manager for home accessories, not only shows us her 2016 trend chair, but also tells us what she would combine it with:
Setting accents is the be-all and end-all in the living area. Here in green, but also a highlight as a yellow version, this chair variant is a unique match for wooden furniture or cooler interiors. For trend themes such as urban gardening, I would choose green and combine it beautifully with plants; the table can be made of wood or glass. Yellow, on the other hand, is the perfect splash of colour for the modern black and white topic.
Our category manager, Alexandra Meyer, favours soft powdery tones and chooses a seat from the Danish brand house doctor:
The slightly smoky pink colour is absolutely on trend and would go perfectly with my dark walnut parquet flooring and Scandinavian dining room decor.
Alexandra Burger, Product Management Assistant, likes clarity in her home. She has chosen a classic piece from Kartell with an unexpected look:
The chair is special and yet beautiful. It would be a real eye-catcher in my simple, light-coloured bedroom. It doesn't need much decoration: combined with a decorative cushion in dusky pink, it looks young and lively.
Lorenz "Lolo" Misteli is product manager for beds and sofas. For him, striking structures and a modern design are typical features of a statement chair:
Classic and exciting diamond pattern. The diamond shapes ensure a constantly fresh and varied look. The perfect chair for modern interiors. The uncomplicated plastic material also makes this chair super easy to clean. Combined with a modern dining table, it is a stylish addition to your home furnishings.
Our product manager for garden furniture and lighting, David Widmer, advocates exciting breaks in style and a skilful mix of materials:
I would combine this trendy chair in wire design with my old wooden chairs in the dining room.
Assistant Roger Wohlgensinger would like to have brightly coloured chairs in his home:
This stylish chair freshens up any living room and invites you to linger longer.
Product manager for textiles, Catharina Carstens likes simple retro design:
The beautiful and clean Scandinavian design of the "Ace" chair from house doctor and the combination of wood and metal fit perfectly in my living room. The old green colour is subtle and yet a beautiful accent to an oak or mango dining room table. The chair can also be "embellished" with a textile accessory such as a seat cushion from Cozy Living or a fur: this creates even more cosiness in the living area.
As Marketing Manager for "Home & Living", I don't want to withhold my favourite from you either: Rattan furniture is back and adds a retro touch to everyday life. I would combine this model from house doctor especially with accessories and furniture in a "tropical" style. However, it also gives a cool loft flat a little more cosiness.
