The Fresh Chair by Piet Bogaards was inspired by a barber's chair. The seat can be flipped around to provide a new or "fresh" seat for every customer. Not only that but with a seat sticking out the back of the chair, the Fresh Chair can provide a dual seating solution.
Though it was inspired by a barber's chair the Fresh Chair by Piet Bogaards wouldn't work well inside a salon. According to Bogaards, “Nobody likes to take a warm seat that was occupied by somebody else.” I'm not sure how true this statement is but if public seating could apply this theme I'd sure be happy.
