Another favourite mid 20th Century chair, the 1958 moulded plywood Cherner Chair was reissued a few years ago to exacting standards by Norman Cherner’s sons, Benjamin and Thomas. I was tickled to see it featured in the animated film Toy Story 3.
A thebes stool is another favourite, the image above is from Chairs by Florence de Dampierre of an Egyptian stool from the British Museum. In particular I enjoy Arts & Crafts Thebes stools like the ones produced by Liberty & Co for example. Below is an image of a past lot from Christies.
The pair of Gustavian 'Klismos style' chairs below are also from Florence de Dampierre's book and I love their simplicity. Client's often dismiss checks as being confined to kitchen schemes and I have to argue the case that not only does it work but it is the height of understated chic. This picture should be enough of a counter argument for next time.
