Casamania’s Him & Her Chairs

May 30th, 2008 by BallerHouse

Sexy furniture masked by seemingly innocent sources of inspiration appears to be a trend that’s taking hold. Yesterday, we showed you Pharrell’s Perspective chair, “representing the love between a man and a woman.” Now, we’re bringing you Casamania’s Him & Her chairs, apparently inspired by the Bible. Designed by Fabio Novembre and launched at the Milan Furniture Fair last month, the polyethylene chairs are available in black, red and white. Fabio Novembre cites the following passage from Genesis as his source of inspiration.

The Lord God crafted man from the earth and blew into him the breath of life and man was alive. And then the Lord God took a rib that he had taken from the man and from it crafted a woman and lead the woman unto the man. Now both the man and his wife were naked, and they felt no shame. Him & Her are born directly from the ideas behind the Panton Chair. An evolution of the hermaphroditic original, declined into the harmony of the two sexes. They assume sculpted forms like naked models of seduction but they feel no shame.
