Canter’s Chair
A variation on the original 2003 Canter’s Lounge Chair.
The Canter’s chair was designed for JMA’s Canter’s Restaurant design for Bobby Baldwin at TI Resort Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a contemporary riff on the 1953 mid-century modern 24- hour Canter’s Restaurant on Fairfax in Los Angeles, which became a late-night hangout for stars of the music and movie industry.

An extrapolation of the original 2002- 2003 Canter’s Lounge Chair. . This chair was originally created for Canters in Las Vegas and modified for East hotel. Hamburg, Germany
East Hotel is the reincarnation of the bombed out ruins of an old foundry in Hamburg, Germany as a boutique hotel featuring Asian-fusion menus.
DONUTS
The hotel’s center in an indoor/outdoor public space, a donut hole, created by sculpting brick and concrete out of the muscular foundry structure and excavating 24’ of earth from the yard separating the foundry ruins and the new guest room building…
Every detail of East’s architecture, art and design conveys the spirit of the old foundry and the surreality of a westerner’s first immersion in the east.
If architecture in frozen music (danke Göthe) thn ornament is the melody. It is the underlying concept which transforms structural rhythms, spatial and material harmonics and details into a meaningful personality which can create an emotional connection…the melody of architecture is its soul, the spirit of the place.
