If you are short of chairs in your home, then you may perhaps want to check out the captivating display pieces created by Tom Emerson, a Santa Fe-based furniture maker offering a large display devoted entirely to his steel-scrap chairs.

Among them include the Comb-Back Windsor Chair which typifies the his captivating display of pieces by Hosea Hayden, a 19th century furniture maker who frequently made “tripods”—three legged stools and small chairs, some of them folding.

Many of the most beautiful chairs are not attributed to particular craftspeople and more to general eras or purposes. Particularly apt, as Americans confront the results of rabid consumerism and look toward belt-tightening in the coming years, is the chair table. A stout chair with a broad, almost ornamental back when placed against the wall, it folds down to create a table when pulled into the center of a room.

We all know that plastic has been hit hard by the eco-friendly practices today but you cannot discount the fact that compared to traditional furniture, putting hard plastic to use is way better that throwing them away.

The Shanghai Riddle looks a lot like the glorified and designed mono block chairs, made of hard plastic furniture that some people are turning to when it comes to chairs and stools. The Shanghai Riddle is quite deceiving. Thanks to a different type of design, they are made to look like wooden chairs but are actually hard plastic which homes can use since they are more affordable and lighter to move around.

Baas’ interpretation comes in the form of hand-carved elm replicas of plastic mass-produced furniture, highlighting the contrast between treasured Chinese handcraft and contemporary, mass-produced and mass consumed. As with all Baas’ work the unlikely aesthetic is humorous but thought-provoking rather than gratuitous.
