These two may look like sweet little vintage chairs, but if you look closer you can see they definitely have an adventurous side. Just check out the intense orange woodgrain fabric by Joel Dewberry. If these two were people, they would be roller derby queens with names like Orange Crush and Shasta Fierce. They would stretch a pair of fishnets over those shiny chrome legs and install a banked track in your living room. Beware! Purchasing these roller girls may lead to other daring design choices. Or perhaps you’ve already taken a spin around that rink, and their raucous style will blend effortlessly with your décor. Either way, you may come home to find that these two jammers have rocketed around your table and knocked out their competition. Edgy little chairs like these, with their bold, in-your-face attitude, are more than capable of revving up your home…and you can be certain that they will score points with your guests. SOLD!
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!
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!
“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!
Well… in fact, yes, yes they are. They are pillows. They may look like super cool awesome works of art, but they are definitely pillows. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Hey, this is a blog about furniture… and life. Why are you writing a story about pillows on a blog about furniture and life?” And here’s your answer. These pillows aren’t ONLY pillows. They are sofa accessories. Think of them as sofa earrings - really cool, one-of-a-kind, fluffy, down-filled, sofa earrings. Like any great pair of earrings, they are the perfect accessory to make your sofa stand out. Sure, your sofa is pretty. Your sofa is probably wearing something beautiful, but without these accessories it just looks unfinished, naked. You know, the holiday season is right around the corner. Why not buy your sofa a cushy pair of sofa earrings?

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. SOLD!
“Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin anywhere”…
If this blog had sound effects, right about now you’d be hearing that weeeeeek sound of a record scratching. That song starts out right, but unless Journey added a verse about going to art school, getting tattoos, and falling in love with textiles, that’s where the similarities end. To describe Twyla, we were tempted to use words like, imaginative, creative, offbeat,… maybe even quixotic, but we found that we only needed one word. It’s a simple one. It’s just fun. Twyla = fun.
When you bring Twyla home, you’ll be bringing home some happy. SOLD!
