Bunny Stacking Chairs Evokes The Mid-Century Design Sensibility


The Bunny stacking chair has been a staple of modern design since it first came on the scene in the middle of the 20th century. The chair features a seat and back with a rounded shape, that evokes the image of a bunny. The chair back also has a bit of “give” to it, so it provides the sitter with both stability in the back as well as little bit of motion.

These chairs are used in a variety of settings. Their iconic contemporary look makes them a good fit for a number of different situations. They are not untypically used in office settings, but they are most often found in homes.

Bunny chairs popular at the dinner table

And within the home, they are very popular dining table chairs. This retro chair also has another useful feature: it is stackable. This stackability makes it perfect for those who like to entertain around the dinner table, but don’t want a lot of chairs at the table otherwise. The chairs stack neatly on top of one another and are light enough to move to an out-of-the-way storage space.

The prototypical bunny stacking chair is made with a metal/chrome frame and legs and single piece of laminated pliable wood that serves as the seat and back. Hard plastic materials are also sometimes used in place of wood for the seat and back. While these chairs come in any number of colors, the typical combinations are natural wood on a chrome frame, black on a chrome frame, white on a chrome frame and orange on a chrome frame.

There are other chairs that are somewhat similar in design to the bunny, including the Becky, which has a slightly reclined back and the Tendy, which has a broader upper back section, compared to the Bunny.

Priced to fit in many budgets

One of the attractive features of the chair is its relatively low price point. The cost of these chairs can fit into a pretty broad range. A set of four can run less than $65 dollars and as much as a couple hundred dollars or more. 

These chairs, or those that look very similar, can be found at many local furniture stores, large retail stores like IKEA.  There are also many different makers of bunny chairs that are sold via the internet. Bear in mind that shipping costs will add to the total price if you buy online or through a catalog.

If you are looking for a very modern flair for your home or office, and want chairs with simple lines, the bunny chair might be the one for you. It comes in a variety of colors, enough to fit in with most any existing aesthetic.
