Chairs I like AND can afford (sort of).

PLEASE READ THE PREVIOUS POST FIRST


One glance reveals this chair's debt to Pierre Paulin's 1960 "Orange Slice Chair" (see the previous post). No matter. Similar styling - very different price. This one can be yours (or mine!) for a mere $500 from White on White. It's called the "Nico Chair" and comes also in black.


This is IKEA's "Patrik Chair" and it sells for $129.00. Perhaps an even more distant relative of the "Orange Slide Chair" and probably not as comfortable, but still a great looking modern chair, suitable for most any room in the house. Probably not for "lounge seating" where comfort will be a more significant factor.



This is White on White's "C-44" leather chair. It looks to me like a kinder, gentler Barcelona Chair. The price is kinder and gentler, too, at $550.00. I haven't sat in it yet, but it looks comfortable not to mention very mod.


IKEA's "Arild" armchair has a nice modern look. Leather is not my favorite choice of seat covering, though. This chair sells for $559.00.


So, what is the difference between a $699.00 Barcelona Chair and a $3499.00 Barcelona Chair? Answer: an ego as big as one's budget. OR, precisely $2800.00. Well, I have neither the ego nor the budget, so the Alphaville Design reroduction from Sleek Spaces will have to do!
