Designer: Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers (VAL)
Featured Furniture Pieces: ‘The Ghost of a Chair’ and ‘Prickly Pair Chair’

This London-based industrial designer fuses together energy, colour and material into whimsical formations of furniture and art. Originating and trained in Mexico City, Valentina seems to splash every furniture item, seemingly framed by the traditions of classical design, with a bit of bright Latin seasoning. My favourite item is the ‘Prickly Pear Chair’, which seems to sprout out wild animation to any space it is placed in.

The ‘Ghost of a Chair’ shown in the picture below, however, diverges quite interestingly from the rest of her work,when looked at a glance. However the Ghost chair subtly alludes to the rest of her work – in the way that it is almost as if a plastic sheet were thrown over another Louis-the-15th-framed chair from her collection, like the Terango Chair. It suggests the furniture collection that does exist, by not actually existing, in this piece.
A very cool designer, I think! Visit her site here.

Hiya, I’m really glad I’ve found this info. Today bloggers publish
only
about gossips and web and this is actually irritating.
A good blog with interesting content, that is what I need.
Thank you for
keeping this website, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not
find it.
Hi ’4 Channel’,
. At the moment, the only newsletters offered (over email) only work if you have a WordPress account (you can then click the ‘follow’ button when it pops up on any page of this blog – but you will need to be logged in with WordPress first.)
Thank-you for your comment; it is much appreciated
However, I will investigate making newsletters available to any visitors; whether you have a WordPress account or not; and will hopefully have a working link by the end of this week.
Thank-you so much,
Design Ghost x
