Rem Koolhaas has recently presented his first furniture collection for Knoll. The famous architect let us took a glance on his new project, as some of the pieces had been featured on the set of Prada’s fall men’s show last January in Milan. Underlining Koolhaas’s obsession with instability, the 11-piece line lacks of specific identity while preserves an adjustable and playfull character in shapes and forms. Another one who has indulged in furniture design and who has brought us in mind all the beloved chairs created by famous architects.
From the classic Barcelona Chair of Mies Van de Rohe to the contemporary design of Zaha Hadid’s Cirrus Seat, here are some of the most ‘architectural’ chairs.
