Haute Residence presents a roundup of unusual and quirky chairs that are perfect conversation pieces around the dining room table or throughout a home.

#1: Meltdown Chair

Designed by British artist Tom Price, this bronze chair is made from plastic tubes encased in a thick ceramic shell, which is melted to create cavities for molten bronze. The bronze seat is revealed once the ceramic shell is hardened and broken away. The honeycomb design of the seat is polished to a reflective shine.

#2: Rope Chair

Also designed by London-based Price, this bright and unique chair is made by heating and pressing a seat-shape into a ball of polypropylene rope. The smooth seat provides a contrast to the textured rope base.
