Chair Planet by Sven Ivar Dysthe. Manufacturer: Variér Furniture
Some seriously 60s looks and that's no coincidence - the Planet chair by Sven Ivar Dysthe was designed back in 1965. Designed as an elegant and functional armchair, it rotates as you'd expect, but it has something more - a patented mechanism that allows you to tilt the seat forwards and backwards. Complete freedom if you like.

Spanish Chair by Borge Mogensen. Produced by Fredericia Furniture.
The Spanish Chair is Borge Mogensen’s (Wikipedia) masterly interpretation of a traditional type of chair often found in areas influenced by ancient Islamic culture – from Andalusia to northern India.
Mogensen drew inspiration from a trip to Spain in 1958. He modernised the shape, eliminating the elaborate carvings while retaining the important feature: the broad armrests that give the chair character and provide a practical place to put a glass or cup. The combination of oak and butt leather gives a strong, rustic appearance.
The birth of the Egg - designed by Arne Jacobsen
The Egg is a chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for Radisson SAS hotel in Copenhagen. It is manufactured by Fritz Hansen.
The Egg was designed in a typical Jacobsen style, where there was no fear of pushing the material to its limit, and often using entirely new materials to make his designs come true. See how the chair is made in this video.
It is believed to be inspired by Eero Saarinens "Womb chair", from which it gains some traits. In many respects, though, the Egg is a much more complete design.
