  1. Eileen Gray, an Irish designer, created the Dragon Chair between 1917 and 1919. The frame is sculpted wood, lacquered brownish-orange and silver, and shaped as the serpentine, interwoven bodies of two dragons, their eyes in black lacquer on a white base, and their bodies adorned in low relief with stylized clouds.


    Suzanne Talbot, the first patron to provide her with the opportunity to construct a whole setting, purchased Miss Gray's one-of-a-kind 'Dragons' armchair. The foreign, symbolist nature of the piece places it theoretically within Miss Gray's first creative cycle. It corresponds to the figurative panels and screens that can be traced back to her first public exhibit in 1913 and the first published feature on her in British Vogue in 1917; it has a completely different spirit than the reductionist features such as the 'brick' wall panelling and screens that gave the Suzanne Talbot apartment such a radically modern character.


    The armchair distils all that was so personal and magical in Miss Gray's early, intimately expressive era of her career; it is a masterpiece of imagination and execution, startling, inventive, discreetly sculpted, and made.


    The chair was projected to be worth between $2.5 million and $3.5 million at a Christie's auction in 2009, but it sold for an astounding $28 million, making it one of the most expensive chairs in the world.


    Price: $28 million

  2. After selling for more than £2 million, the Lockheed Lounge by Australian designer Marc Newson has preserved its record as the world's most expensive design object. Newson's riveted aluminium and fibreglass chaise longue sold for £2,434,500 Wednesday night at Phillips auction house in London. This exceeds the £1.4 million raised by a prototype of the design sold by the same auctioneers in 2010 when it became the most expensive object sold by a living designer for the first time.


    The Lockheed Lounge, designed in 1990, is one of Newson's most well-known early works. The seat was produced in ten editions, four artist's proofs, and one prototype. Phillips' edition, which was anticipated to earn between £1.5 million and £2.5 million, was eventually sold to an anonymous telephone bidder.


    As one of the most expensive chairs in the world, the Lockheed Lounge is made of thin aluminium plates welded side by side, with rivets along the seams. The metal wraps around a body of fibreglass-reinforced plastic, and the feet of its three legs are rubber-coated.

  4. Harow, a French design firm, has developed a 24-carat-gold variant of their skull-shaped armchair. The seat has a multi-faceted back that resembles an enlarged skull and is supported by two ornate front legs. The upper teeth form the basis of the chair, which Harow describes as "built for comfort and world domination". Ornamental flourishes adorn the face's forehead and nose, contrasting with its essentially geometric aspect.


    The Skull Chair is made of reinforced fibreglass with a steel internal frame and is entirely handcrafted in Paris. The seat is upholstered in black velvet to complement the surrounding 24-carat-gold plating. Harow said that the unique gold edition is the first-ever chair designed and handcrafted like a faceted diamond, which has also manufactured enormous face stools.


    Metal-coating technological advancements have resulted in similar upgrades to a range of chair designs. Mid-century furniture by designers such as Warren Platner, Harry Bertoia, and Arne Jacobsen were all honoured.

  5. Plume Blanche, a French design firm, created this limited-edition diamond-encrusted mahogany and leather chair. The PlumeBlanche Diamond-Encrusted chair is shamelessly extravagant, featuring a mahogany frame with a lacquer finish, leather upholstery, and the Plume Blanche insignia set with half-carat diamonds. Despite the fact that only 50 of the chair were produced, clients may select from 60 leather colours and 500 lacquer colours.


    Regarded as one of the most expensive chairs, the PlumeBlanche Diamond-Encrusted chair is a comfortable one studded with diamonds. It's as if the designer sought to build comfort out of the hardest material on the planet. The chair's structure is made of leather, mahogany, and latex, but the diamond-studded buttons are what make this piece of furniture unique. Even the brand's emblem is studded in diamonds.


    The luxury jewellery market is expanding, and PlumeBlanche is one of the most well-known brands. They've built a reputation for assembling some of the most attractive, high-quality products. Diamonds are among the most valuable stones in the world. Some individuals believe that diamonds not only save money but also make a lot of money.

  6. The Kennedy Cabinet Chairs is a one-of-a-kind, really comfy chair with a terrific design and feel. It's so unusual from your typical dining chair that it deserves its own introduction. The blog will introduce the Kennedy chair as well as examine the design and features that distinguish this chair.


    These unassuming chairs may be mistaken for any other 1960s seat. However, they have a history: these chairs were used by John F. Kennedy throughout his presidency and were later given to Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense, by Jacky Kennedy, the First Lady. Because the Kennedy administration is one of the most famous in American history, the six-figure price tag on these seats is unsurprising.


    The chair was created as a labour of love for the late President's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and is named after the 35th President of the United States. Hoy created the design, which is based on a classic bar stool with a modern twist. It is constructed of solid beech wood and has a leather seat and back.

  8. The Chieftains Chair was designed by Finn Juhl and is owned by Niels Vodder himself, making it exceedingly special. This chair's leather is original and in good, patinated condition, with a deep, warm cognac color that adds to the power of this grand classic. The Chieftains Chair was created for the Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibition in 1949.


    What distinguishes this chair from Danish design towards the end of the 1940s is that it was inspired in part by the nonconformity and abstract tendencies of modern art at the time. The organic contours of the Chieftain Chair distinguished and liberated themselves from traditional Danish furniture design.


    Finn Juhl (1912-1989), born in Denmark, aspired to be an art historian as a child. His father believed that he would be better off becoming an architect. Juhl worked for Vilhelm Lauritzen for ten years after graduating from architecture school. Juhl established his own furniture design firm at the age of 33.


    In the 1940s, he created a variety of pieces that revitalized Danish furniture design and deviated from the established furniture tradition. Juhl is currently regarded as one of the most influential forefathers of Danish design. In fact, he was the first Danish furniture designer to achieve considerable international acclaim. His work was critical to the global development of the "Danish Modern" concept. His designs are renowned for being absolutely gorgeous, refined down to the slightest detail, and exceptionally skillfully executed.

  9. The chair in which JK Rowling sat to compose two of the "Harry Potter" books was auctioned off for a whopping £278,000 ($391,186) in New York. On April 6, an unknown private buyer purchased the 1930s oak chair from Heritage Auctions.


    It is one of four mismatched chairs handed by the government to the author to furnish her previous council flat in Edinburgh, where she lived as a destitute single mother before rising to fame. The famous chair, which Rowling sat on to write the first drafts of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," has a replacement burlap seat decorated with a red thistle and the chair maker's initials printed on the seat.


    Rowling painted the chair in gold and rose, writing along the seat apron: "I wrote Harry Potter while sitting on this chair." She also added a range of Hogwarts references, including the Sorting Hat's comment: " "You may not find me pretty, but don't judge on what you see."


    The J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Chair was first auctioned off by the 50-year-old author in 2002, with the earnings going to charity. In 2009, it was resold for £19,555 ($27,502). Gerald Gray of Greater Manchester, the chair's vendor, intends to donate a portion of the money to charity.

  10. The Egg Chair was one of Jacobsen's most stunning designs, created using an unknown technology. It was built by Fritz Hansen, the maker of the majority of Jacobsen's works. It had an inner shell of polyurethane foam padded with cold foam and an exterior layer of cloth or leather. The base is made out of a satin-chromed swivel center made of welded steel tubing attached to an aluminium star swivel base, offering a lovely contrast to the curves of the chair.


    However, the chair's unique and distinctive shape does not detract from its practicality; it gives an incredibly comfortable experience while still affording the user a degree of privacy — which was ideal for the SAS hotel's bustling waiting area. Although Jacobsen created these chairs for use in the hotel, their popularity necessitated the production of a small number of "special edition" Egg chairs shortly after the hotel's launch.


    Sixty years later, the Egg Chair remains one of the most popular chairs among thousands of interior designers and homeowners worldwide. Its massive stature and graceful, feminine curves make it a one-of-a-kind addition to any home setting.


    All of Jacobsen's inventions adapt themselves, especially to a modernist space, having been influenced by several modernist designers, notably Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The chair is a sculpture in and of itself, and it may also stand alone in a minimalist context, cocooning the user from the outside world.
