32. The Vintage Heart Cone Swivel Chair

If you are a collector of vintage pieces, stop where you are on this epic designer chair list. This design was first in Denmark in 1958, and it looks like the coolest office chair we have ever seen. Since many of us are now working from home, this piece of furniture would be the ultimate upgrade to your at-home office. Its retro style is fascinating, but it looks relatively comfortable for something so ostentatious. The pop of orange is very bold and beautiful. However, it would look remarkable among woods or even with a monochromatic color scheme.

25. The Saji Chair

Say hello to the Saji Chair. It has a very exotic design that would work perfectly in any beach resort.

Also, this piece of furniture is an exceptionally sturdy chair! The artist who designed the chair wanted to challenge herself to create a three-dimensional form from a single two-dimensional curve.

24. The New-Age Bahia Chair

The New-Age Bahia Chair came from humble beginnings as a vintage chair. After some serious reupholstering in the velvet cord as well as yellow and green checked cotton. If that wasn’t enough color for you, they added some turquoise buttons! There are also 5000 Brazilian ribbons which are a lucky charm in Brazil. So, if you get hold of this chair, you’ll be fortunate and should probably enter the lottery. You make a wish for each knot, and when the band falls off your wrist, they will come true.

Here is a very graceful curving wooden piece of furniture called the Pipo Chair. Designer Alejandro Estrado exquisitely crafted it, and you can get it from Piegatto.

That allows the light to highlight the natural contours of the piece. Estrado used 29 wooden strands cut from just two pieces of plywood.
