More Chair Love

This weeks chair love:  a recent find of Apartment Therapy reader Alex.  Alex found this chair and is now asking the Apartment Therapy readers to help him identify it.  Some of the readers think it might be a Gastone Rinaldi chair from the 70’s, worth quite a but of money if it is genuine.  To me, money or no, it is really cute.  I think it could be even cuter with some new funky fabric or leather cushions (which is what Alex is thinking about doing).

If you know anything more about the chair or it’s style, check out the post and let Alex know the scoop.  Otherwise, if you are like me, just sit there and drool away.

Chair Love

January 7, 2009 at 4:40 pm (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I love chairs.  Tony says that I have a strange chair obsession.  Its true.  I would collect chairs if space would provide.  I have even thought about hanging them on walls like art in order to accomodate my passion.  But, for now I will post about the chairs I am drooling over.  This is my latest love (since I finally aquired my Plycraft lounge and ottoman;) 

Here is a vintage Barcelona chair and ottoman:

This chair was designed by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe in 1929.  Drool… I also love it in cream!
