Hive Modern

So, it is not an actual manufacturer (they are technically an online distributor), but I love Hive Modern!

They bring together a whole batch of popular manufacturers of furniture, accessories, lighting, and more with an emphasis on 1960s and contemporary design. So it is obvious that they have a wide variety of interesting pieces from great designers such as Florence Knoll, Arne Jacobsen (love the Egg and Swan chairs!), Pierre Paulin, and many more!



One of the coolest chairs that I saw on the website was the Living Tower, designed by furniture designer Vernen Panton in 1968. They are manufactured in Germany by Vitra.

Available in three colors - red, chocolate, and matt blue, the dimensions are 78.75" long, 26.5" deep, and 78.75" high.

The materials include a frame made of birch plywood, and the fabric is standard upholstery atop a polyurethane foam cushion.

The cost is a whopping $13,920. However, shipping is free to the US, so that makes up for something. But if you live anywhere else, you're SOL, I guess. Lead times are 8-12 weeks.

However, if purchased through the direct manufacturer - the closest sales rep (or dealer) is located in Dallas.
