These Wonderful Simple Pieces Of Wooden Art Are For More Than Just Sitting On...

I love chairs. And I love wood.
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. . .

    I so get this post, Keith. I found myself staring for ages at each one and enjoying the experience of just looking. I will definitely return to gaze again at these beautiful and functional objects.
