Unusual chairs and sofas add a touch of character to the living room. They make a statement that the owner is expressive and creative in nature and isn’t one to go with the norm. Here we showcase fifteen contemporary chairs which are totally different to any other you’re likely to see.

Designed by Samaya & Moroni, this collection of curious seating styles uses bold and lively colors (purples, bright reds, yellows and lime greens), yet it is the layout and design which is most unusual. Each one has a distinctive look, a design which oozes originality and character.

Seats such as these are best placed in minimalist living rooms, simple open plan rooms where the chair or sofa becomes the focal point attraction. When the color is so bold and vibrant the rest of the room should be decorated in a more subdued manner to help the chair come to the forefront of the design.
