The Smoke chair is a modern version of a classical typology, the bergere chair which is well known for smoking cigars, reading a book, etc. It’s a loungy version that has been cut-off, stretched and lowered. The ears have been cut-off, but the back is still high enough to rest your head. The seat has been stretched and lowered, which results in a comfy feeling.
Smoke has been developed for and presented at the new pavilion of the Flemish Parliament, a design of farris.schöning, a collaboration of Italian architect Giuseppe Farris and Antwerp designer stefan schöning.
