Classic Luxury Chairs

Ok now we'll go for some chair archetypes to get some art ideas. Many of these are neither modern or futuristic but provide us vivid colors and raunchy gaudiness that may be useful later.

in your face impractical but look at how boldly the blue on gold hits you
this is the winner already out of the bunch since it's designed for office use
a little too close to the tomb but we must go on..
A bit Dali-esque which means edgy for a classic chair
once again, not comfortable at all but the royal blue and flower shape begins to provide ideas




a whole family of them



here's a beautiful woman sitting in one, she seems relatively content, as we can see, the chair overshadows the person

again, something between a luxury handbag, a wallet, a table turning into a chair...



more flashy and acidly raunchy



an interesting take, combines classic with virtual design pattern within the real world. Just kidding. This is just a 3D design but would be nice if it was truly integrated like that, another lightbulb lights up on our quest

classical and rather imperial

this territory is not acceptable for us. although interesting to look at it pulls not towards futuristic but neolithic era meets lady gaga



now we're talking some old fashioned sense




some weak attempt at combining classic and modern but... you see for yourself... the baby carriage imagery



the most intense one yet




perhaps the least intense one and gently oriental


the animal chair makes an appearance again, lots of potential

Futuristic Luxury Chairs

Let's start with the chair for now. Perhaps we should have started with the bed considering we spend a third of our lifetime sleeping, which would be 40 years of being unconscious. Ideally 8 hours (although they now say 9 is good) and maximum genetic lifespan of  roughly 120 years for the 20% of population who have such a span (other 80% of population tend to have shorter maximum lifespans).

But chairs are more fun! This is the first chair post so I'll just throw the first few things that caught my attention. The fine blending of futuristic and luxury as explained in previous post will be explored in future chair articles. We'll also do separate pure cutting edge luxury and pure cutting edge futuristic chair posts and then see what we like to be combined.

THIS ONE ACTUALLY LEVITATES ON A MAGNETIC FIELD!  Could use more cushioning...
The goal is for levitation to be visible and for the chair to actually move around the room. Perfect for turbulence free jet rides
yep, that's a chair


obviously we like this one considering our background, very yolk like

grandpa would appreciate
very nice like being in an Art Deco race car of old
definitely on the right track
back support and chakra opening is becoming big
a little TOO much. TOO many wires, we're not shooting for a sci fi flick here
another egg-like pod, looks like it will mold to you
retrovirus inspired chair
Google employers use these already



Cthulhu employees I guess use these
Nothing prevents the Cthulhu chair from being combined with modernity...
a bit of an alien feel to this one
even more interesting...
actually glows! now think of combining some of the flying and sleep looking ones with this luminous warmth





too cutesy although adjustable soft blocks have potential





come on now, that's where we stop
