When relaxing and reading at home we will need two items, a chair and a lamp, so blending the two together only seems like a natural evolution for the two. The poets chair achieves exactly that – a simple chair with a lamp attached and extending from the back of the chair.

Designed by Nieuwe Heren, a hybrid of two forms, the chair is also fixed to the wall and is retractable. The lamp itself gives the effect of floating out from the wall, a simple process achieved by having only half a shade.

Surreal, yet highly functional, the poets chair is sure to be a favorite with avid readers and those who love quirky and unusual furniture designs.
