This week I found this cute little Mid Century chair on Flickr.

This is a walnut and naugahyde rocker and ottoman.  I’m not usually super into MCM furniture, but I can totally see this rocker being used in a living room or nursery for a new baby.  The white leather look with the dark wood is great.

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!
