Has anyone seen this? It's beautiful, and there's a matching sofa.

I love these. I'm so sad that they won't look anything LIKE good in our house.

the Retro Renovation blog had a post about them bringing back some of these old styles. I was sad it was just a limited offering, and not being sold at my local store.

I've seen some great victorian homes that were furnished with more modern or mcm, but I think it can be hard to find just the right balance of old and new(er) to pull it off.


We have a couple of similar chairs that DH got our mcm furniture guy to give a ridiculously great deal on when we bought something else from him.   They are not quite same interesting lines of the nicer chairs, but we still like them. DH loves them, and even likes the ugly green cushion covers that I plan to replace.

ETA:  I just went to look at our chairs (one was buried in the closet and the other is buried under boxes and bedding in our bedroom), and I had completely forgotten that ours are not the full back.  Maybe it was just wishful thinking, since that was why I wasn't as keen on them as DH was to begin with.  Ours just look like kind of cool waiting room chairs to me. ;p

I saw them when I was shopping for a chair for DH.

They remind me of my old Barbie furniture. My aunt and uncle had some furniture just like that- they were MCMs all the way-she was from Finland and really nailed it.

We have an original version of this chair in my DD1's room. I think I got it for $20 at a flea market 5 years ago. I still haven't gotten around to recovering it!

I asked for those for Christmas.

Eek! I want this chair so badly. We have been looking for one of these, but was hesitant to spend $900+ on a chair at the moment. Are they just not in stock at any stores at the moment? I just checked about 15 stores and was unable to find them in stock anywhere.

That is the chair we want to get when we move. Maybe even by two. There is a MCM couch on allmodern that I want to buy and this chair will go perfectly with it..

karinothing, IDK. I also looked at a million places and couldn't find it. It seems like it's only in the European market soon, but since they posted it on the American website it shouldn't be too long before it's sold here. Unless it's just a glitch that's it's even posted.

I hope it means it is coming soon. I wish it came in more colors.

Want. I don't know where I would put it, but I want.

My local IKEA has it in stock according to the website. (Houston)

ETA: We've been looking for a chair for DH's office and I think this would be perfect.

Well, that is weird. I just clicked Houston and it said "not in stock" maybe it hates my computer.

OMG. I grew up with the originals of these! And a sofa.

I had some gorgeous ones about 10 years ago that my granddad had held onto forever.  I gave them to my aunt, who spent $$$ recovering them, before noticing that they were reeeeeallllly nice pieces.   I try not to dwell on it, but she knows that I want them back when she's done with them.  Which will likely be never. lol.

Huh. It's been a few days since I looked and I could have sworn it was in stock then bc I thought about driving down to get one while DD was at school. That sucks
