The recent Japanese animation "SPY×FAMILY) fire, Douban score of 9.1, the story tells the spy Twilight suddenly received the task - to form a family to sneak into a famous school. He had to find a "daughter" Ania, and temporarily formed a family with his "wife" Yoel, but the daughter actually has the superpower of mind reading, the wife is a killer, and the three of them hide their identities from each other and start living together, dressing up as a family wine.
This improvised family, in order to let her daughter enter the famous school, must always maintain elegance, clothes to be customized in the tailor's shop, the house is large and tidy and stylish, and some furniture that carries the author's personal taste often appears inadvertently in the picture.
In fact, the author's love for furniture was reflected early in the comics, and each issue has a main character on the cover, with a unique chair, and the typography looks like a fashion home publication.
And each chair can be said to be a classic representative of modern craft design, this time Xiaobian will come to pick up these chairs that appear on the cover of the "Spy Over home" comic.
01
At dusk× LC2 sofa single chair
The first character is Spy Twilight, who sits on a chair that french architect Le Corbusier introduced in 1928 on the LC2 sofa single chair.
Le Corbusier is one of the main representatives of modernist architecture, in the furniture design, he is known for the luxurious and comfortable steel tube structure recliner, LC2 series sofa is his classic work, but also a major symbol of modernism.
This series of sofas subverts the standard structure of classical sofas and chairs, the external steel frame supports thick and soft comfortable cushions, and the simple steel pipe structure is still regarded as avant-garde by us even after more than 90 years.
The structural design of the outer cold and the inner softness is just as the author wants to express the character of the spy Dusk.
◎ "Spy Over Home"
This sofa also has two and three seaters, and the highest appearance rate in the animated family is the three-seat LC2 sofa.
02
Ania × marshmallow two-seat sofa
The sofa on the cover of Ania, the name and appearance are full of childlike fun - Marshmallow Love Seat (5670), it is composed of many similar size round cushions, also has a simple steel pipe structure as a bottom support, a bit of early spectral furniture meaning.
Many people think that the marshmallow two-seat sofa is the work of George Nelson, an American modernist furniture designer, but it is actually the work of Irving Harper, the design director of George Nelson Studio, who is also the representative designer of Herman Miller.
The idea for Marshmallow came from a sales pitch by a plastics company that showed the Nielsen team a product that could be used to quickly make a round pad with a circumference of 25-30 cm in plastic, which was very cheap. Nelson asked Hubble to design a piece for this purpose, and Hubble spent a weekend designing a 25-30 cm disc designed by checkers on a metal frame, so he had this sofa made of 18 "marshmallow" cushions.

Unfortunately, later the plastic company could not achieve its own program, the actual design cost was much higher than expected, Hubble had to change the back material of the round pad to plywood, plus foam decoration, the chair that should be cheap mass production, also became a luxury chair.
And that didn't stop it from being popular, with Herman Miller re-releasing two smaller versions of the Marshmallow sofa line in 1999, which continued to be produced in years. The version, which was produced in the mid-twentieth century, will only appear at auction, and once it appears, it will start at tens of thousands of pounds.
But when it comes to marshmallow two-seat sofas today, most of the people who think of George Nelson, not Evan Hubble.
It can only be said that the marshmallow sofa and ania put together are two small poor lives put together, and they are by no means simple cute.
03
Joel × the cloud chair
Joel's chair is the most expensive of all the character chairs, Eames La Chaise, translated domestically as the cloud chair, elegant, light and comfortable, from the hands of Charles and Ray Eames, the most influential american designers of the 20th century.
In their hands, there have been DCW wooden dining chairs, LCW wooden loungers, which Time magazine calls the "Chair of the Century", children's chairs loved by Life magazine, and Ems loungers, which are famous in the high-end furniture industry.
And in each work, the key words they study are always - smooth, load-bearing.
One of the craziest things they do is to make the wooden furniture bend to show a comfortable curve, just bending, curving is not enough, to be smooth.
The same is true of fiberglass and plastic chairs, whether it is The Noble Lady Cloud Chair in "Spy Over the House" or the DSW armchair that pretends to appear on the wall painting of the family, it is the result of their pursuit of the ultimate smoothness in hard materials.
◎ In "Spy Over home", you can see the chair hanging painting on the wall
Speaking of the Cloud Chair, designed by the Eames for a 1948 competition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, inspired by Gaston Lachais' sculpture Floating Human Body, La Chaise refers not only to the cloud chair's original name, "Chair", but also to the sculptor.
The cloud chair can perfectly match the various lying curves of the human body, and strives to make each user have the feeling of "lying sexy in the clouds", and it is also a double chair for couples to sit on it elegantly to drink coffee and chat.
◎ Mr. and Mrs. Ems sit together in a cloud chair
As an extremely sexy and elegant chair, it has appeared in the home of Kristen Gray, the overbearing president of the well-known movie "Fifty Shades of Grey".
This kind of strong elegance, which has lasted for half a century by the designer, is definitely something that the examiners of Eden Academy (the famous school in "Spy Over the House") will scream when they see it.
