This modern chair is a sure eye grabber. Reminiscent of '50s architecture, with bold wooden arms that curve up then jut down to form the front legs. Brilliant. It's simply gorgeous upholstered in red, and would look fab in a city loft with a oversized, modern painting behind it.

"I’m a recent but already huge fan of Diane Carnevale’s Chair du Jour blog. Every day she posts an elegant and accurate blue and white watercolor of a different chair — famous icons and wacky one-offs, both. Better yet, she’s well educated in the world of chair design, and includes a history of each chair, plus her own always-witty personal commentary."
