anyone who has spent some time in a dorm room is probably familiar with the ubiquitous (and ugly) butterfly chair, a cheap and easy-to-assemble piece of furniture that lets you kick back after a long day. while i never personally owned one, the nest chair by slovakian design studio allt feels like a much cooler, much comfier, much more sophisticated iteration of the same idea. three laser-cut pieces of strand board easily slot together to form a sturdy base, while a fantastically oversized pillow tops it off. i feel myself falling over already. see more here.
this piece of furniture by organic modernism is basically like chair porn for me. their alma chair in brass is perfection in a mix of carved walnut, brass, and my favorite color fabric cushion. if this chair was a person, i would marry it. after popping into their chelsea store earlier this week, filled with gorgeous hand-crafted woodwork and antlers galore, i was pretty much ready to set up house. see more of their fantastic furniture here.
