“Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place, but there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.” ~ E.L. KonigsburgWe’ve been told that year after year, in study after study, the Danes are consistently among the happiest people on earth. Surely being surrounded by exceptionally awesome design has something to do with their joyful attitudes. These two charming little chairs are testaments to the seriously cool style of the Danes. Even though they were hidden deep within the recesses of a dark basement when we first saw them, we immediately knew they had great potential. We imagined them blissfully playing in piles of beautiful autumn leaves, and knew that our upcycled canvas banners would be the perfect fabric for them. Take one of these chairs home today, and give the excitement a settling down place. Their bright new fabric and ridiculously cool Danish style will add a little corner of happiness to any room in your home. SOLD!
Most chairs come to fruition with a solid idea, a stereotype if you will. French Bergère chairs usually have fancy clothes, and expect to live a lavish lifestyle. They don attire fit for a French country estate and don’t often stray from this concept. Bergères LOVE the elegance of living in a chateau…always en granite tenue. Émile loved the French countryside; but he was not satisfied with the status quo. He was conflicted. Though he felt like a nobleman inside, the froufrou fabric that covered his frame was uncomfortable and confining. Émile wanted to travel the world. When this wanderer arrived at our door, he expressed to us that he was trying to “find himself.” He was tired, and his fine clothes were a little worn, but his genteel lineage was still apparent. We told him of our favorite quote from George Bernard Shaw: “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” This became his battle cry, and his gaudy fabric was ripped off faster than a “Nigerian prince” can accept a fund transfer. Although Émile has a new rugged exterior, he’s just a big softy inside. Now that he has been recreated, he is ready to settle down with a new family… and some incredibly strong coffee.
