"A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous" ~ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
I have to say, I have a thing for chairs. You might notice that you might collect more of one thing than another and well, 3 and its a collection. So turns out I have a chair collection, albeit in miniature. Seems like I come upon an wonderful chair and I have to have it. Even if I don't need it.
Here is a very nice range of artisan crafted 1:12 scale chairs. Enjoy looking !!

I'd rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I think Thoreau said that. If you have a nice cozy chair you can get in it and be by yourself, read or wonder or just be. Or pretend you're sitting in the perfect chair in your perfect doll house.
