Lip Inspired Furniture Designs that will make you Smile
I’m not usually one to kiss and tell but in this case, I say “pucker up” and get ready for the following lip inspired furniture designs I have sourced especially for you. These happy designs are sure to make you smile.
Lip Inspired Furniture Designs - Sofas
For a sofa that is both sexy white lipped with black tongue – or white cresting wave with black boat (a description for the under aged) the Grazia by Ryszard Manczak is a “love”seat that defies a specific style, preferring instead to be at home anywhere, anytime.
The Grazia also comes in a more organic, softer palette aesthetic.
The iconic Studio 65’s Red Bocca Lip Sofa is an indoor/outdoor design made from polymer plastic that was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s lips.
This Goth redo of the classic Bocca Sofa is called the Gufram: Dark Lady Sofa and comes complete with a removable stainless-steel lip piercing. Designed by studio 65 per gufram it is as much pop art as it is Goth.
Marilyn Monroe is not the only famous actress behind a lip inspired furniture design. Back in 1936 Salvador Dali created the Mae West’s Lips Sofa. He made several versions of the design, this one was commissioned by British patron Edward James.
One of the Mae West’s Lips Sofa is the centre piece of an art installation at the Dali Theatre and Museum called the Mae West Room. Mae West’s face can only be seen from one angle is composed of the sofa, a chimney for the nose, two pictures for the eyes and a large blonde wig that frames the room.
These lips where inspired by something a little more mundane than an iconic actress. These lips where inspired by rusty propane tanks and that is exactly what this outdoor seat by Colin Segal used to be.
Lip Inspired Furniture Designs - Fornasetti
Fornesetti is another furniture designer who features famous lips in many of his pieces. The famous lips in question here are those of operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri.
Piero Fornesetti was obsessed with the face of Lina Cavalieri and used her image repeatedly.
Studio Pazo Fornasetti’s designed much the same way Andy Warhol did, taking an image and repeating it in as many different ways as he could think of.
Lip Inspired Furniture Designs – Jimmie Martin
The JK Lips Table by Jimmie Martin completely leaves the lip shape behind in favour of a spray painted graffiti word representation. This would be so much fun to pair with one of the other designs.
Jimmie Martin’s Red Lips and NYC Lips have a goth S&M aesthetic that is enhanced by the faux spikes coming out of the arm rests as well as the seat in the Red Lips Chair. Ouch.
