Spanish designer Maximo Riera creates furniture pieces inspired by the fascinating animal world. Not too long ago, we featured two impressive furniture items on Freshome belonging to the same designer: the Octopus Chair and the Rhino Chair. Walrus is another seating unit with an aesthetic effect that is both strong and fascinating. Based on the alluring features of the large marine Arctic mammal, this new design dazzles the mind and senses. Elegant, refined and imposing, the chair can be a great addition to a minimalist contemporary interior, as to an office with a sober personality. Even though its size is considerable, we believe it makes quite a dramatic impression, a detail that could make up for it taking up a lot of space. We are looking forward to further witty comments from all of you out there enthusiastic or simply intrigued about this creative Maximo Riera collection.

Fabulous Collection Piece: Walrus Chair by Maximo Riera

Benjamin Hubert‘s Pod Chair expresses the need for private relaxation – surrounded by a protective shell that cuddles you in a soft yet sturdy embrace. The British designer created this type of chair for Netherlands-based modern furniture company De Vorm. The felt used in shaping the chairs is created from recycled PET bottles, pressed into the mould. The chair’s shell is the largest object created by using pressed PET felt technology. Production includes cutting the material and stacking it on its wood base, while the finishing touches bring the chair’s design to a modern outcome. Constructed as a sustainable alternative to large upholstered furniture, the Pod Chair can be easily recycled as it does not contain a mix of glue, wood, textile, etc. Its contemporary shape and protective design can be successfully displayed in residential home, offices, commercial buildings or hospitality establishments.

We found these awesome armchairs at Click for Art, where they have a wide range of pieces from many designers. The three throne designs can be shipped worldwide, so anyone can enjoy them. Made in limited edition, the Whimsical World Throne by designer Caramelaw, the Slipstream Throne by Dan Baldwin and the Maria Throne by Sylvia Ji all have something special. Each chair depicts a different design and style. “We only produce 33 of each design – Each sequentially numbered with a Certificate of Authenticity that is printed on the bottom of the chair” and signed by the artist, so hurry up and get one if you just love them. I would if I had that much money to spend on thrones: £1595. Printed on faux suede, the designs ensure a fascinating focal point in any room. The thrones can also be printed on genuine leather. Hand carved mahogany frames are available in white or black gloss lacquer finishes. The upholstery is also hand crafted using traditional methods. They have a pretty appealing offer in customisation of the armchair.
