Living Chair by Vladimir Tsesler

Sexy, yet demure; Valdimir Tseler’s Living Chair was inspired by the human form (female, of course) –  long legs delicately crossed for a provocative yet modest aesthetic. The cross-legged form creates a three-legged stool (a stable tri-pod, if you will), in feminine pink or electric red. With perfect posture, it’s at once modern and feminine, capturing the curve of a woman’s back within the backrest.
The Russian designer Vladimir Tsesler is best known as half of the creative duo “T&V”, (the belated Sergei Voichenko being the other half). Their artistic liaison began at the Belarusian Academy of Arts, where both designers studied. They established a reputation for their graphic design work: cool logos and ‘social posters’, with provacative allegory and grotesque irony being their trademark. While they tinkered in the design of three-dimensional objects: Mona Lisa in the shape of “matryoshka”, a typically soviet 3-liter glass can filled with “Coca-Cola”, a hand grenade “lemonade” and a toothy toothbrush, Living Chair appears to be the first foray into furniture design. Not a bad start, right? Although Sergej Voichenko passed away in 2004 and Living Chair was thus designed solely by Tseler, it is still impossible to think about the inseparable duo individually.

How to Give your Old Chair a New Look

When furniture gets old, that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be changed. If your furniture is made of good materials and still solid but you are bored of its old look, you can give it a new look instead of changing it. As we presented to you before helpful ideas to renew your old dressing table, this time we offer you very creative ideas to give your old chair a new decorative look using easy tips and cheap materials. A simple note can change the look of your old chair? Indeed, a simple note that could be a funny word or a name will personalize your chair and give it a specific character. Cut your own word in cardboard and use paint brush or spray to reveal the word on the chair. To change the look of your chair, you can simply change the seat using seat cushions; they are usually tied by ropes to fit the chair perfectly.
To give your chair an original style, you can opt for chair socks! Yes, there are now special socks made to cover the chair legs in different colors & styles to customize chairs very easily. Recently, the trend in chair decoration is the bi-material chairs; that means a chair that combines two materials in its design like wood and metal, metal & bamboo…etc. If you paint part of your old wooden chair in white, for example, you will give it a very trendy look and a stylish Scandinavian style. Similarly, you can totally change the color of your chairs with paint. Opt for an original color that will brighten up your home like delicious pink or hot yellow.
To create a small decorative detail on your chairs, think about jewelry. Indeed, why not dress up the leg of a chair with a nice bell or simply tie a pretty ribbon liberately. What if we change the comfort of a classic chair by adding a cushion? Not just will the chair be more comfortable, but you will seem more decorative if you choose the cushion in a colorful pattern. To change the look of your chairs in a blink of an eye, you will find many chair covers in decoration stores. The choice of colors and forms is almost endless. To give your chair a unique style, play with a big fluffy blanket or sheepskin to cover the entire chair. This idea is also ideal to give your chairs a winter decoration.
