Ginger chairs by Sebastian Herkner for Ondarreta

Dezeen Showroom: designer Sebastian Herkner has created the Ginger chair collection for Spanish brand Ondarreta, combining soft seating with a selection of characterful bases.

The Ginger chairs feature rounded, upholstered seating, which contrasts with bases made from metal or wood that give the sense of trying to contain the cushions as they spill over the top.

The Ginger chairs are available with a choice of bases, including a four-leg design

Among the base options there are two that make use of bended metal tubes — one in a four-leg design and the other in a sled style — and one plywood collar base that wraps around the seating.

"Last one is a bit like a boat or nut shell, something which hugs and protects you," said Herkner. "It is maybe the most iconic version of the three."

The Ginger collection includes chairs and lounge chairs, along with coffee or side tables.

The chairs suit a range of uses and can be used in settings ranging from hotel lobbies to bedrooms and from restaurant tables to lounge rooms.
