Design Within Reach Chairs (Under $400)
I'd gladly adopt all of them, although I have no clue where they'd fit in my tiny abode.
A little interesting factoid to share: Did you know that aside from the automobile, the chair is the most designed, studied, written about (ahem!), and celebrated artefact of the modern era? I pulled that straight from one of my favorite books, 1000 Chairs.
These Selene chairs are only $175 each and are available in crystal clear (shown), red (below), and white.
Here are the Marais AC chairs again. We just spotted these yesterday in Martha Angus' guest house. Available in red or yellow at DWR for $188 each, or select the metal version for $198. Seeing them in yellow is exciting, I'd love to pair either the red or yellow chairs with a white or glass top dining table and the fabulous Imperial Trellis wallpaper from KWID shown below.
I know, don't remind me... The trellis is everywhere, but for good reason, it's crazy beautiful. I can't seem to shake it, and then last weekend I saw it in green while shipping helene m., a new clothing boutique, in Portsmouth, NH. It's jaw dropping in a retail setting, and they used it only on the back wall. The scale, the pattern, everything - mind blowing. Seeing it in a New Hampshire boutique gave me chills, New Englanders can be so conservative! But, after learning that the owner of helene m. is actually a New Yorker, I smiled. Explains everything. We need more wild and wacky transplants up here.
