Say Hello to Jahn

Some people just have it. It is difficult to describe, but you definitely know it when you see it. Maybe it is a certain style, or a confidence that defies explanation. Our latest chair, Jahn, is like one of those people. I mean just look at him. He is wickedly cool. He has definitely got it. He probably sat in on many backroom deals as they were closed with handshakes and highballs... then chased with a Bromo fizz the next morning! Jahn is a cosmopolitan chair with an "it factor" that cannot be denied. Gore Vidal is credited with saying, "style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn." If you know who you are, and what you want to say, Jahn can help you make that statement. He has it, and he'll bring it to you, while making your place the swingingest thing since Benny Goodman! SOLD!

Knockouts!

These two lookers have really got it going on! Adorned in rich orange Joel Dewberry fabric with pale blue wildflowers, they are true head turners. In grandpa's day, girls like these were called knockouts, and for good reason. They will definitely knock you out with their energetic fabric and gorgeous curves. You'll find your guests doing double-takes as they are bewitched by these two beauties. Cheerful little chairs like these are guaranteed to keep the winter blahs at bay, and will brighten your home year-round. SOLD!

Autumn Joy!

“Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place, but there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.” ~ E.L. Konigsburg

We’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!

Two Ladies From Boca

These two sisters spent their whole lives in Boca Raton. They spent endless hours fundraising for the Boca Junior League, selling cookbooks and being doting wives while their husbands enjoyed long days at the club. And let’s face it; they also spent more than their share of time at the beach. In fact, the sun had begun to take its toll and their deadbeat husbands were the first to notice. After receiving their substantial divorce settlements, these young women decided to pamper themselves for a change. They went to the preeminent cosmetic surgeons in the country, spent time at the best spas, found an outstanding personal trainer and now they are back on the market. In fact, Midge has already snared a fine young thing that swept her off her feet. Madge is still enjoying all the new found attention, but understand this fellas, a sexy divorcee like her won’t be around for long. Her social calendar fills up faster than a Grizzly bear at a salmon buffet. Better step up your game boys (or ladies – Madge doesn’t discriminate), and snatch this doll up while you still can. SOLD!

Frank and Zooey


Most of the other Gunlocke chairs were quite content with their 9 to 5 lives. Attending meetings in crowded smoked-filled conference rooms discussing wheat and corn, and coexisting with the noise of hundreds of telephones and typewriters at the Department of Agriculture was their way of life. Most of them pounded the clock each day and waited for the coveted 20 year watch, looking forward to retiring to an overstuffed storeroom someday. Most were content, but not all. Not Frank and Zooey. Frank and Zooey couldn't wait to shed their drab, government issued uniforms and strike out on their own. They knew there was more to this world than the inside of an office building and they were determined to have it all. One night, after hours, they made their escape, throwing off the vestiges of their old life along the way. Now, reinvented and invigorated they are ready to start their second life. SOLD!
