A chair for any occasion...


More than just a spare spot to perch, the occasional chair is the best seat in the house. The occasional chair is slightly larger, and sometimes a bit lower, than the dining chair. The long, bare legs provide softness in scale, and an interesting reprieve from a sea of upholstery.

An occasional chair can easily, "sneek," into a tight, bare corner to create a cozy nook. A masterfully, layered design is achieved by placing this light scale chair in front of a fireplace or other focal point.The key to proper installation of the occasional chair is in the grouping. Ensure the chair relates to the space by pairing it with a table/foot stool of similar scale.

Adding an occasional chair infuses a punch of personality into an otherwise flat room. A fussy, antique chair can take on another persona by simply lacquering the frame and replacing sick-green velvet with sassy patent leather...

... or painting an outdated fruit wood frame and adding a bold colored solid fabric...
... or a wild, funky, large scale pattern...
... or add life to an barren corner by creating an intimate grouping, perfect for sipping a glass of wine.
