Austrian-born but Paris-based designer Robert Stadler is at it
again. Last year I wrote about his beautiful exercise stool and today,
I’m going back to him for a look at his humorous and ergonomically designed bomb furniture.
When it comes to design, I like it to be both beautiful and
functional. One without the other makes
it unsuccessful in my book. Take the irregular
bomb sofa. I get it may not be for
everybody, but it is beautiful, sexy and very versatile. You can use it as a traditional sofa, a day
bed and in more creative positions that help you relax. In a room that perhaps is more informal, like
a TV or family room, this sofa is great.
The spherical bomb armchair
is a piece that works well in an informal or formal space, such as a library, home
office, bedroom, living room, foyer, etc.
The leather quilting effect is English Chesterfield catapulted into the
21st century and is awfully comfortable.
The gift of a true designer is the ability to re-imagine the
familiar, and Stadler does this magnificently.
Who knows, it may be that in 100 years, the irregular bomb sofa is the standard in every home!
