Tongue Chair

When I did my search on Papeete Ciel last week, I stumbled upon this Tongue chair at Italian Design 360. There's just something about this chair that draws me to it. Not because of its intriguing name, but it's just so.... aesthetically pleasant to see. I like it covered with solid color as shown above, than in a floral pattern as seen on sevensalotti's site (bottom pic). My personal preference, I guess.

Tongue was designed by Mauro Lipparini for sevensalotti, an Italian furniture company. Come and see sevensalotti at the coming Salone Internazionale del Mobile Milano 2007, April 18 - 23, 2007, Hall 7 Stand G14 Milano Rho-Pero.
