Färg & Blanche designs quilted
Emily chair for Gärsnäs
Stockholm 2014: Swedish-French design duo Färg & Blanche has created a small padded chair for Swedish furniture brand Gärsnäs.
Färg & Blanche designed the Emily chair for dining or conference tables as a version of their larger Emma armchair, also produced by Gärsnäs.
“Emily is our Emma easy chair’s little sister,” said the designers. “The family likeness can be seen in the needlework – they are both upholstered but differently patterned.”
The chair back curves around the seat to form the arms. Padding is quilted into sections, creating a simple pattern on both sides of the back support. It comes upholstered in fabric or leather and solid ash legs poke out from short sleeves of material below the seat.
Gärsnäs exhibited the design at last week’s Stockholm Furniture Fair, where Färg & Blanche also debuted a furniture collection created by sewing pieces of plywood together.
