It's never too late for some chair porn
I realized it has been ages since I have done a chair porn post....which means this post is ALL ABOUT CHAIRS. I have a slight obsession you see. I can never get enough of chairs. I almost bought a couple of these Solair chairs in black a couple of weeks ago for the backyard but in the end decided I didn't really need them. Still kicking myself for not getting them as I have wanted some forever (classic retro Canadian design at it's finest). Stay tuned later as you'll see my top 5 favs.
Acapulco chair
I love chairs, and all kinds - plush, wooden, canvas, leather, plastic, whatever floats my boat. Aside from some random vintage chairs and my Green Light District leather beaut, I currently have a couple of white Pantons, a faux Tolix from Homesense, and a few Eames (yellow shell, black leather shell and a kelly green upholstered armchair on wheels). I would love to add an Acapulco chair to the mix. Whether indoors or outdoors, this classic Mexican chair works anywhere, indoors or out on the deck. I thought it was about time I did a feature on this lovely chair.
Photos of note
When devouring the portfolio of photographer Jonas Ingerstedt the other day, I found a few photos with elements I wanted to take note of.
I love wood left in its natural state - even plywood. This wall of shelving is so simple. LOVE!
I am a little distracted by the really cool Magis chairs but after wiping off my drool I noticed the rod along the ceiling - awesome minimalist idea for basic lighting.
And speaking of lighting, I'm still smitten with bare bulb light fixtures, and hanging them in this set-up is really creative. Especially when highlighting objects directly below.
Freedom's Winter collection 2013
Out tomorrow Monday 25 February ... Freedom's latest range. Just a little tease for now. I'm lovin' the retro inspired chairs here. (Nine new chairs, 12 fabrics, 3 leathers.) Aussie readers start getting excited. I've seen shots of the new pieces and I know which ones I will be rushing in to buy. More tomorrow :)
