PRINCIPE SIDE CHAIR

—Designer unknown

Principe is Italian for Prince, and a pair of these Principe chairs with their subtle Moorish designs on the chair backs would be perfect in that Palazzo in Venice. You know, the one you rent on the Grand Canal for the month of September? Well how else could you be at all the correct parties for the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica di Venezia — or to us mere mortal Americans, the Venice film festival. Everyone who is anyone will be there, and you'll sip your morning espresso in this chair, contemplating all of the invitations, and the coveted Gold Lion. La dolce vita, baby.
