Philippe Hurel's eponymous website says about him:
"pouvoir donner forme à ses rêves en dehors des sentiers battus du prêt-a-meubler, voilà le vrai luxe."
I think this (very roughly) translates to how his shapes are dreams that are outside the box and that's a real luxury. If anyone out there is more fluent in French than I, please chime in.
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."
