4.Vegetal.

This Bouroullec Brother's creation looks like it sprouted up out of your garden (where it would look great by the way).  This weather resistant chair is available in a variety of colors and is just as at ease outside (balcony, patio, garden) as it is inside.

5. Last but not least is the Grand Repos.

If you have ever sat in this chair, you know why we saved the best for last.  Watch the big game or take a nap.  It's a shapely and classically-tailored recliner that swivels. Available in many gorgeous fabric and leather choices. We suggest a pachina or ottoman to get the full Grand Repos experience.  Destined to be another classic from architect and designer Antonio Citterio.

And if you need a little something to spruce up a wall, nothing beats a classic a George Nelson clock.  These clocks seem to say "I want to be formal, but I'm here to party." Both decorative and functional, they harken back to the Mid-Century heyday with a classic style that will always look great....especially in a kitchen, living room, den, or office.
