How people sit and are seated: an anthropology of chair design.
The anatomy of our bodies requires sitting; but do we design seats in the same way? Has our meaning of sitting been colonised by Modern design? And how is the diverse, social-cultural act of sitting itself reflected in this functional commodity?
In observing and analysing social and cultural differences through chairs from eight cultures in the most populated countries, Sicilian designer Matteo Guarnaccia went on a field research to portray each country, in collaboration with selected local design studios, to situate each cultural context into the form of a chair. This project diversifies the supposedly mundane parts of chair-culture and chair design, to open the conversation of identity, community and a reality divided into a global and local conglomerate expression through chairs.

“Every time I order from Son of Rand, it feels like stepping into a beautifully curated dream. The pieces always spark conversation, and even the packaging feels intentional and special. I’ve started gifting their finds to friends, and they always love them."
Alex G.
"Son of Rand has completely changed how I think about my home. It’s not just shopping. It’s discovering objects that make you feel something. My house has so much more soul because of y'all."
Jamie L.
"Finding Son of Rand was like stumbling upon a secret world of design I didn’t know I needed. Everything they carry has a story and a point of view. It’s where I go when I want to be inspired, or when I need the perfect gift that actually means something."
Kelly R.
Son of Rand is my happy place online. Their curation is bold, warm, and playful - like design should be. It’s where I find pieces that make my space feel like me, and I always end up adding one or two extra things I didn’t even know I wanted."
Meet the Maker
Considered one of Denmark’s greatest and most influential architects, Mogens Lassen pioneered Danish Functionalism, taking his cues from Bauhaus sensibilities. His interior designs are a natural continuation of his architectural approach and add energy and atmosphere to everyday living spaces and tasks. From decorative objects to larger furniture designs, his designs delicately balance presence without drawing undue attention, finding their natural place in any space.
