At the time of posting it is very early morning in Canada (1.00am) and Kim is fast asleep. I am wide awake on a Sunday afternoon (3.00pm) searching for images. And I found this. Kim loves Eero Saarinen’s Tulip chair. Here’s a groovy retro shot just for you Kim (and everyone else).

Yes, as I have mentionned before I love chairs. It’s about time for another chair post. Here are some random photos of chairs – I just love the creativity of the photo above.

Grant Featherston (1922-1995) is another Australian design icon I would like to share with you. What Hans Wegner is to mid century devotees in America, Grant Featherston is to Australians. Devoted to promoting a philosophy of good design and opposing the stifling forces of conservatism with an alternative to the overstuffed post-war sofas Grant Featherston gained success in the 1950s with his clean organic designs. The now famous contour chair can still be found in homes as well as fashionable design stores and museum collections.

Tulip chairs are so iconic and adorable. I always wanted a tulip chair and recently bought 2 knock-offs at a local retro antique store for my bedroom. So I thought I would do a post on tulip chairs because I am just so damn proud of myself for owning some of my own!

Here it is, probably my favourite chair EVER. I was thinking of getting two to put at each end of my dining table (as in the first photo). If you own one, send me a photo. I would love to see how you used it in your space.
