Musical Chairs

Next on the list for the new house: new desk chair. We currently have a functional one - black, on wheels. But it has no personality, no life, no heart.

Earlier I showed our fantastic new desk with brass knuckle pulls - I think it needs an equally fantastic partner in a cool desk chair. Our desk is in a small nook and is on the lower side so the chair needs to be on the small-ish and without arms... Here are some of the finalists:

I've LONG been a fan of Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost chair:
These ones are from Hive Modern. Without arms they are called the Victoria Ghost chair - I'm thinking of clear, smoke or black for our desk...




This one is from West Elm. Nice. Clean. Modern.


Below is Jonathan Adler's Chippendale chair. I think it's too big for the space we have, but cute nonetheless...


And finally, here's a great, inexpensive arm-ed version of the Jonathan Adler chair from Ballard Designs.




Great desk chair = more productive work day. Or at least that's how I like to justify the purchase to myself...

Thoughts?

Architects just wanna have fuuu-un

I have an architect friend, Morgan, who sends me some pretty cool things. Architects want to have fun too! They get stuck having to draw plumbing details and create door schedules while us interior designers get to play with fabrics and paint colors. But I guess architects need to take some time out of their day to look at pretty things now and then.

These below are from a website called Loyal Loot.

This vase would be great for all the fabulous flowers you are bringing home these days.


Called the PRAIRIE HOUSE, it is "modeled after a rolling landscape. The scale of the house changes depending on the size of the bloom or branch you choose."



And the LOG BOWLS are a great marriage of rough, organic textures and smooth, modern, bright colors. Wouldn't it be great to buy 30 and hang them on your wall?

Another great website he sent me was michaelanastassiades. His BALL LIGHTS (below) and ONYX LIGHT (2nd below) are stunning...



Keep 'em coming Morgan!
