"Chair ~ a piece of furniture consisting of a seat,
back, legs, and often arms, designed for one person."
Chairs, though originally intended for use for "state and dignity"
have become one of the most common and
ordinary objects within our homes.
ordinary objects within our homes.
When Chloe @ One King's Lane recently contacted me to ask if
I'd write a post about a statement chair in our home,
I'd write a post about a statement chair in our home,
I was happy to oblige.
My husband and I both admire chairs
for their function and their form.
We've been known to bring back
chairs as a "souvenir" from our travels.
One such chair is a
Thonet bentwood rocker purchased in Paris.
Thonet furniture, with its curves
and bentwood construction, speaks to us.
Our sun room, once a screened in porch,
now functions as a year round living space since
enclosed with walls of French doors and windows.
The fluid movement in the lines of the bentwood rocker
compliment the architectural details in the corbels
of the original porch design that were retained
and enclosed with transom windows.
The casualness of the Thonet, with its cane back
and seat, fits the aesthetic of our sun room . . .
Yet it stands on its own as unique
among the wicker and bamboo pieces.
It serves as both an accent piece
and a favorite spot to relax with a gentle sway
while the design flows effortlessly with
textures and accessories of the room.
A chair is so much more
than just a place to sit!
So tell me, do you have any statement chairs?
