Adam Nathaniel Furman explores colour, cuteness and queerness with anatomical chairs



Designer Adam Nathaniel Furman has created a pair of chairs based on intimate parts of the body.
The PHaB1&2 cafe chairs feature seats and backrests shaped to suggest anatomical forms that Furman invites users to identify, in white, lilac and baby pink colourways.

The name PHaB "is an acronym of all of the things that their shapes reference, with some of the letters referring to more than one word," said Furman, who described the chairs as "jubilant and adorable celebrations of the human body".
"Harnessing the subversive, affirmative and joyous powers of cuteness and the unexpectedly queer, the PHaB1&2 chairs are cheeky injections of figuration and sensuality, sweetness and light, into the conceptual minimalism of contemporary design aesthetics," he said.
The stackable chairs feature legs made of powder-coated steel tubes, with seats formed of painted plywood. They are intended to be used both in the home and in cafes and restaurants.
"There is a childish innocence that the pieces are referencing, in which the body ? and the simple, ancient symbols we have used for millennia to represent them, ever since the first cave paintings ? and its most obvious constituent parts, is a thing of joy and discovery, sweetness and fun," said Furman.

"[This is] a period of freedom prior to the shame that we are inculcated with by society about ourselves, our bodies, and our proclivities, as we grow older," he continued.
