I just found this photo of a gorgeous hanging chair designed in 1957 by Nanna Ditzel….. This is me drooling.
Want to feel like a kid again? Get yourself a hanging chair. For your living room, balcony or backyard, whether in rattan or fiberglass, they are fun and look fabulous. I crave one, especially after finding all these photos.
Charles Eames said his goal for the lounge chair was the “warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.” I can immediately associate one word with this chair – SIGH. I’ve never sat in one of these, real or imitation, and I probably shouldn’t. But I don’t think I could ever spend that much money on a chair. And I don’t think cat nails would go so well with the leather. But I lust after it regardless. After all, cats don’t even like leather right?
Sadly, I still have not made a purchase of (at least) one of these. So instead I post photos of this stunning chair which only serve to whet my appetite even further. Oh well.
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).
