Marta del Valle, an interior designer based in Madrid, designed a chair series that she calls The Merlot. Each chair looks like a huge glass of red wine with an open side in which you can immerse yourself. The chairs are made of stainless steel and thermoplastic polycarbonate. Yanko Design describes them:
A product of wanting to have fun while designing, Del Valle herself admits that the Merlot chairs aren’t ideal for tedious and work-oriented actions such as studying, working or consuming long meals. But for all you fun-loving design enthusiasts, and not to mention wine lovers out there such a piece would only liven up any space it is placed in. So if you’re in the mood to “Take a seat, have a sip”, well then the Merlot may just be the next quirky piece of furniture you need in your home!
