Why I Heart Custom Chairs!

Sitting. We do it every day, all the time. There’s nothing interesting about sitting, and the same can often be said about what we’re sitting on. Most of the time we put very little thought into exactly what it is we decide to rest our weary bodies on. As long as it can withstand our weight and we can do what we need to do comfortably, that’s really all that matters. But is that really true?

From stately symbols  to useful, functional pieces of furniture, chairs vary by the purpose they serve. Of course, their ultimate purpose has always been to give a person a place to rest, but I think a chair is more than just a chair.  The right chair supports, cradles, and conforms. It controls how comfortable we are, and is powerful enough to transform a space. It has a life of its own and can stand out in a crowd.  It’s functional, it’s useful, and its art! There aren’t too many things you can say that about.

Do you still think a chair is simply just something to sit on? If so, take a look at this. CustomMade has tons of options for custom chairs by artisans who have a passion for creating amazing furniture. Here are fourteen absolutely stunning, brilliantly creative and somewhat extraordinary examples of just how compelling a chair can be. These are not grandma’s favorite knitting seats or dad’s good luck game chairs. These are custom made works of art which not only serve a functional purpose, but add a unique element of individuality and interest to the space in which it lives.
