Wacky Furniture You (Sort of) Wish You Had

I know what your thinking, but no, unfortunately we don’t carry this particular item here at Madison Seating. This is just something I came across while browsing the web late one night (or was it early one morning… I forget…) and I thought I would share it with y’all, along with some of the other weird and wacky furniture concepts out there. Hope you enjoy!

Know Your Furniture: The Chaise Longue

Good morning to you all,

 

This new series entitled “Know Your Furniture”,  is intended in part to remedy a particular injustice in the furniture world. We’ve all been there, standing around a kitchen or living room, cocktails in hand listening to a super-snobbish friend or neighbor describe in excruciating detail the profound nature and exquisite history of their newest furniture acquisition. The group around you listens politely, maybe they have some idea of what this self styled furniture guru is talking about but you wouldn’t be surprised if they were just as clueless as you and were simply employing the exact same strategy that has you looking fascinated, smiling and desperately trying to nod and sigh in the right places.

Vanity of Vanities

 

O’ vanity of Vanities,
thy name says it all,
You are my faithful servant maid,
my mirror on the wall.

You are my dearest friend,
my most impartial jury,
The source of my deepest joys,
and mornings full of fury.

The first to greet me when I rise,
my last “goodnight” before I sleep,
And the rigid truth within you lies,
no matter how I beg and weep.

You are always there to dress me well,
to prep me up and down,
As I consult with you before a date
or a night out on the town.

You know me as no other can,
you have seen me as I am,
you have seen the natural beauty,
that lies behind the glitz and glam.

I am thankful that you caught my eye,
on the day of our first meeting,
Thank you premier furniture site,
yes thank you Madison Seating.

Aeron™ Chair, the Untold Story…

Yup, as the title so subtly suggests, we are back to my favorite topic – The Aeron™ ergonomic miracle chair by Herman Miller.

Today’s  post concerns a much lesser known aspect of the Aeron™ chair, it’s history and development. We are all familiar with the Aeron™ as the quintessential must have office accessory of the modern workplace. To those in the know, the Aeron™ is both an ultimate comfort item and coveted status symbol. To be an Aeron™ user, is to be the proud owner of an office chair that is sleek, stylish and on the cutting edge of ergonomic design.

News flash, it was not intended to be that way. Not at all.

Election Day Coverage from Madison Seating

My fellow Americans,

We find ourselves today, perched on the threshold of history. Today is a day long awaited, it is a day of hope, a day of destiny, and a day that will determine the future of a nation.

We the people, divided by party colors but united in our heritage, stand at a crossroads, and the path we choose will shape the future of this great country for generations to come. Each and every one of you, as you step into that voters booth today, will hold the fate of this great country in your hands. Choose wisely.

Presidential Furniture

Good morning all,

With the presidential election now less than a day away, it seems that all things in life come with a presidential twist. I’m sure that many, if not most conversations these days are dominated by or at least include some reference to the upcoming election and of course it is impossible to watch five minutes of television with out coming across a some form of politically sponsored content.

In keeping with this recent spirit of presidentialism, I thought it might be interesting to take a look back at one of our founding fathers, the quintessential president if you will, George Washington. And to take this look, through the lens of our passion here at Madison Seating, furniture.

The Ultimate Mulititasking Must Have Furniture Item!

Good morning y’all,

Today, I would like to take a moment to recognize one of the most talented and capable pieces of contemporary furniture that I believe often goes unnoticed. This unheralded hero of the living room may not always be the center of attention at parties or get the same amount of press that some of the other pieces do, but that does not keep it from selflessly serving in it’s varied and versatile ways.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Sofa Bed.

Fresh Fungal Furniture!

Good morning all!

Today’s post concerns a particular furniture making material that, to be honest, has yet to grow on me. Even after having having done some extensive research on it, and even with a deeper appreciation for and understanding of this particular method, it is still taking some getting used to.

The material in question- Fungi!

Happy Halloween from Madison Seating!

Trick or Treat!

I believe that Halloween is many things to many people. As a kid growing up, Halloween was obviously all about the costumes and candy. As I got older, my diminishing interest in the “Treat” factor greatly increased my tendency to “Trick”,  candy bar received or not. And Just when you hit that age when you have lost most of your interest in both “Tricking” and “Treating”, that is when it seems the cyclical nature of life’s little ironies comes full circle, and the haunter becomes the haunted, and now you are the one who cringes every time the doorbell rings…
