In my first Blobs and Globules blog, I said that there is something fundamentally endearing about all things blob-shaped. I have just stumbled upon these chairs by fantastic Swedish design company Bla Station. They seem to take the emotional connectivity of something completely simple to new heights. If anything can demonstrate that minimalism does not have to be bland or cold then this must be it.
These are chairs which echo the human form. In doing so they serve their purpose not just functionally but also psychologically giving comfort as well as physical support. These images tug at the heart strings which is an odd attribute for a mere chair. The one in the hand is a baby, the one with a footstool is a parent offering arms to a child. The one in the woodland is solitude.
