Bendy Rainbow Chairs

The 'Mr Smith the Second' Seat Looks Like a Strip of Candy

The Mr Smith the Second chair is probably one of the quirkiest seats I have ever come across, and that is saying quite a lot. Fit for Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factor, the witch's home in 'Hansel and Gretal' or even a live version of Candyland, this unique seat is playful, vibrant and super sweet.

Created by UK furniture designer Anthony Hartley, the Mr Smith the Second chair is a multi-colored laminated seat made out of beech wood. The use of a high-gloss lacquer really accentuates each bend and wave, while succeeding in making it even more delicious to look at. Seriously, I'm salivating right now, as I'm sure you are too.

The Mr Smith the Second chair is set to debut during the London Design Festival.
