Sitting pretty

Icy cool chairs and contemporary living room furniture pieces that are icy hot

I don’t like to put my fanny just anywhere. I’m very selective when it comes to chairs, especially if they’re featured in my living room. They have to be comfortable, they have to match my decor, and they have to make a statement. Hee Welling’s collection of Cool Chairs from Design Within Reach are anything but ordinary. Why? They’re made from a major kitchen appliance.

From the innovative design mind of Hee Welling comes a truly one of a kind chair. What makes this chair cooler than the rest? Inspiration can come from anywhere, and in the case of Hee, his inspiration came from the interior of a refrigerator. Don’t laugh, (even though the designer’s name practically beckons you to) I’m serious. This chair is totally constructed from the shelves sitting inside of a refrigerator. How’s that for innovation? It’s like a Project Runway challenge, but for furniture instead of clothes.

DID YOU KNOW? Archie Bunker’s famous easy chair from the television series “All in the Family” is stored at the Smithsonian Institute. Producer Norman Lear donated it when he thought the show wouldn’t see another season. When the show was renewed for a ninth season, Lear had to spend thousands of dollars to have a replica created. The original chair was purchased from Goodwill for $8. It was donated by some Meathead.

Industrial designer Welling’s goal was to craft a chair using only one material. With only some powder coating added for a durable finish – this Hee Lounge chair is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, but I personally think it’s much too cool to sit outside. Featuring a surprisingly soft seat, and a bold yellow color that will make your living room pop, get ready to impress your guests whenever they sit on it.

-Made of solid steel with a durable powder coat finish
-Choose from yellow or white
-Stackable
-Price: $250 each

    Great Post! I don’t like to lay my fanny just anywhere as well lol. Love your writing style and that site has some pretty cool stuff. Just bookmarked it. ;-)

    Style is such a personal thing. I for instance like the traditional look, this maybe influenced by my apartment which is part of a 1900 end of terrace house, and would find it difficult to have a very modern yellow chair. I am tempted by the chair for outside in my postage size garden.

    when it comes to furniture comfort comes first (otherwise its either junk or just a decorative piece) and style comes next. (then how well built it is and what it cost)
    It’s really amazing how often good style actually is the most comfortable. Something to do with people who care about style also caring about comfort maybe? anyway i endorse your selection. and love the article. full of great info

    I’ll take comfort over style any day.

    Neat chairs! Great link as well… thanks for sharing!

  • Car Salvage


    I love these chairs, but its defintely one for the garden. I think the yellow would be striking outside in the summer.

    I stayed wtih a friend of mine who lives in a huge house and has some incredible pieces of furniture inside his home – a couple of pieces were just like this (may be from the same designer actually). It was really inspirational as it looked absolutely wonderful. I don’t know if it would work in a my relatively bland home but I’ll have a look anyway!

  • Stair Nosings


    I like the unique design of this and i think living room chairs can offer a lot of decorating options. They are a great way to break up a traditional living room set. They also work well in rooms that are tight on space. and are even budget friendly too.

  • Interior Ideas


    I really like the ideas of cool chairs but i find the price a little expensive.

  • Charlie


    cool furniture! at $250 a pop for a chair like this you would need to make sure your furniture removalist in melbourne takes good care when moving it :)

  • Classroom Storage


    Wow,,this chair looks stylish yet simply and yellow color is making it more chic.Amazing

  • Dewbert


    my friend works as a video editor and I think he needs to get some cool chairs like this for his video production studio in adelaide

  • R Kyle


    I agree in this article. Chair has to be comfortable especially when I watch TV and when I sleep on them. I work 8 hrs a day so what I want is a comfortable sofa to relax.

  • Wooden Ship


    While I adore your blog, I simply must disagree on this one. Just investigate on Google, look into the headlines page, and just maybe you’ll see just what I’m speaking about. Appreciate it!
