Chairs Before and After

I had a lot of readers ask me where to find the chairs in my last post. They were actually already owned by my client and are from Lee Industries. The chairs are a nice small size for New York apartments. You can see from the before photo below what a difference new upholstery and fabric can make on an old chair! The new fabric is a small neutral herringbone from Travers called Warwick which is available from Zimmer + Rohde. I also had my upholsterer remove the nail head trim so they would look clean and simple. So they next time you think about getting rid of an old chair, just remember that it can be given new life with new fabric!

Sex and the City 2: Chairs for Sale

This morning, one of my readers asked about where to find the chairs featured in the new Sex and the City 2 film and the answer came a short time later. Nicholas Manville the head of the Decorative Home Department of Bergdorf Goodman emailed me to let me know that the actual chairs from the film were sitting on the 7th floor! How exciting! After lunch, Grant K. Gibson, who is in town from San Francisco, and I headed over to check them out. They are a little hard to find since they are sitting outside the elevators on the 57th Street side of the 7th floor but are worth the hunt. The chairs were designed by T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings in the 1940's and can be yours for $16,500! If that's out of your budget, you can always go sit in them so you can say that you sat in the same chairs as Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City 2 ! You just might want to stop on the second floor first for some Louboutins to complete the experience!

ex.pilot armchair by sphaus

The ex.pilot armchair by Sphaus is name due to its look which is similar to a "jet cookpit"..

The wrap around shape is a classical design many armchair take but this design looks great.

Some similar armchair can look over the top or over designed but for me this works very well.

Perfect for a modern or contemporary study and minimalist living/dining room. This chair wouldn't look out of place with more tradtional furniture and many be used to split a area in a room into two parts..
