I once had a collection of beautiful chairs but when I minimalised my life to live on a yacht the chairs became the victims of downsizing.
It was an ok thing to do.
I realised I couldn't collect all the beautiful chairs in the world so why have any. I could look, admire, love any chair in any art collection anywhere in the world without the need to own it.
And so, with all that in mind I bring you this collection of beautiful wooden chairs, some very wabi-sabi, that I've fallen in love with
in recent times.
I'm very happy that other people own them.
I just want to be able to look at them...
I smiled at the one with the logs sitting on a fireplace grate. If'n you don't like it, just set it on fire. . .
