Praline Noir, by design student Fredrik Kjellgren, the fanciest recliner you'll ever see (although I'm not sure why it's sitting on that table). The opposite of the squishy beige one that came with my apartment. Kjellgren came up with the idea by considering the concept that most easy chairs are, in fact, big, squishy, and ugly.
Funny, I mentioned researching "human-informed" furniture the other day, and someone asked if I meant La-Z-Boys. Not exactly. Not necessarily this, per se, but this is delightful just the same. Black, utilitarian, seemingly comfy, and crumbs fall right through, onto the floor, where you can ignore them. Each cushion is made of a different material, giving it an eclectic charm, but the fact that it's all black keeps it from looking like hippie furnuture.
