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.

The Discovery Coffee Table by Zuo Modern

Contemporary and unique. To me, these are the two words that best sum-up the Zuo Modern Discovery Coffee Table. And when it comes to coffee tables, I cant think of any two characteristics more desirable than these two.

Very often coffee tables go unnoticed and generally taken for-granted. Much of the time they have a very basic design and are pretty unremarkable. But with the Discovery Coffee table, Zuo Modern has taken the ordinary, reworked it, and given us a coffee table that makes a statement, “I will not be overlooked!”.

Promenade Recliner Chair by Coaster. A Man and His Throne.

Hi there folks, and welcome back from your hopefully wonderful weekends. I would like to dedicate today’s post to one of the most versatile and incredible furniture concepts ever to have graced the showroom floors, an absolute fixture in the lives of many, and mainstay of living rooms the world over. It’s a chair, a sofa, a bed.  It is all and it is neither! an amalgamation of everything we love about furniture, it is the quintessential must-have furniture item, as it is, in a way, representative of  the standard of comfort and serenity we strive our whole lives to obtain.
