Alright, we know this is a nursery, but we wouldn’t mind living in this soft and pristine space (maybe hold the giraffe wall sconce). They’ve made a classy little rocking chair out of a Herman Miller Eames chair. Check out eBay’s selection of similar chairs. Keep in mind the bases are always easy to change.

How do you accent a black brick wall? One word: warmth. The wood cabinets in the background and the gorgeous leather chair in camel make this office look less Deadhead garage and more Hermes handbag.
True to form, we did a little scouring of eBay to see what we could find to replicate this look in our own homes. Though we couldn’t find anything that exactly matched the absolute treasure of a chair seen in this picture, we did find some… [MORE] solid replacements. Check out this midcentury leather desk chair in a dark claret. This Danish modern swivel desk chair nearly gets it, nailing the camel coloring but designed to be more of a statement piece. If you’re looking for lamps, this black metal desk lamp from the ’50s is a must. Get ‘em before they’re gone!

One can never have too many chairs. Okay, maybe that’s not true (especially in a New York studio). But chairs are one of those versatile items that don’t take up too much space but, man, can they pack a punch. Take for instance these midcentury stacking chairs on eBay, or the wide variety of Eames seating you’ll find as well. Here’s a set of French Art Deco club chairs from the ’40s that look pretty fantastic.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of designer Philippe Starck’s iconic Louis Ghost Chair, a special edition has been produced featuring his trademark signature, laser-engraved on the back of the chair. Since its initial release in 2002, the simple piece (which is produced in a variety of colors and opacities) has become the most widely sold “original design” chair in the world, selling over 1.5 million pieces.
