Chair of the Day: Grange Napoleon III
French furniture company, Grange, has a reputation for making classic furniture. Some might say, “too classic.” I say, “Wrong!” With a little imagination you can transform a classic style into something quite contemporary. Such is the case with Grange’s Napoleon III Chair. This beauty has classic lines. Add a splash of one of their several hand-painted finishes with a dab of delicious velvet and you’ve created something that beats anything contemporary or classic. You’ll have a timeless piece that’s uniquely your own.
Do I gush over-long? Think of your most coveted pair of Jimmy Choo’s and you’ll understand why. Each piece is handmade, and their finishes look like you could swim in them. A classic piece mixes in with contemporary rooms – making it worth the 18 week lead time and the price. Speaking of which, the retail price is $833 with a stain, and $925 with a painted finish. For some of us that’s one pair of shoes you’ll wear for 5 years. For others, it’s two. I’m always pointing this out to misterarthur: an evening dress I’ll wear twice, or a chair we’ll own forever.
Which would you choose?
