This chair is offered through Reed Bros. from one of its 12 garden furniture collections. It's based in California, where it rarely rains and one can keep this sort of cloth furniture outside without worry of mold (or cold!) setting in. Large and luxurious, the Sonoma Collection is big and bold and over-scaled. Its simple lines and thick, deep cushions invite luxurious lounging. It can be ordered carved or plain.
This blog showcases the 365 chairs that Diane painted thorughout 2009. Some chairs are traditional, most are quite unusual, and they all have a story behind them. Have a seat in your own favorite chair and enjoy. The sketches are painted on Winsor & Newton Cotman 140 lb. cold pressed 4 x 6" watercolor sheets, using Winsor & Newton French Ultramarine blue.

"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."
