Sunday Stamps: C is for Chair and Couch

Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is the letter 'C'.

Coincidentally I received a chaincard back home yesterday. The card started its journey on 19 November 2018, and after traveling from the Netherlands to Germany, Hungary, China and Taiwan, it came back full of nice stamps.
As the theme was 'Furnitures', there appeared to be some matching stamps: chairs!



The front side of the card is matching, too! It shows contemporary art by Bill Viola, a video still titled 'Catherine's Room (panel 3)' (2001).



On some of the cards of my chaincard pals I didn't stick the same stamp shown on my card bottom right, but an other stamp from the Children's Stamps 2015 serie, showing a couch:



This time the words in Dutch don't start with a 'C':
chair = stoel
couch = bank (the 'a' pronounced as the 'a' in 'harvest' or 'calm')
coincidentally = toevallig
contemporary art = moderne kunst
card = kaart
chain = ketting
children's stamps = kinderpostzegels

Sunday stamps: Furniture

Today Viridian's Sunday Stamps theme is 'furniture'.

I thought that I couldn't add anything at all, but to my surprise I found an other furniture stamp, thanks again to Micu from Mail a Smile!

Hungary has issued several stamps showing a chair.
The ones with postage worth 5, 30 and 90 forint I've posted here, and Eva has posted beautiful furniture stamps today, among them the 40, 50, 100 and 300 forint stamps.

The one I'm posting here today is the 20 forint stamp, issued in 2001:



And still there are more Hungarian chair stamps, I learned by searching the internet. But so far I'm happy with these ones. See more furniture stamps via the links on Viridian's Sunday Stamps.

And does the following one count as a 'furniture stamp'?
It has been issued for the "Book's Week" in 2010, and the sheet itself is a bookmark. I've put a ruler next to it so you can see the size of this remarkable stamp. The stamp itself shows a famous Dutch author, who is sitting on a chair... made of books.
