Utrecht or Metz Chair by Gerrit Rietveld
And thanks to my visit to La Suite I now can share my own photos of a black leather with white stitches Utrecht or Metz Armchair by Dutch architect and furniture designer Gerrit Rietveld with you. It is much smaller than I had imagined. I love it!
CH52 Chair by Hans Wegner
I’m a big fan of Hans Wegner, because he designed chairs you actually can sit comfortably on.
However, that’s not the reason I post this photo here.
I came across Suite New York, apparently a chair distributor. My next post will make clear why I want to post about them.
Again theirs is a site built with flash photos. No way of pinching a photo … even not with Webkut of Toki Woki and also not wit Clipmarks (which dissappeared since posting this item), but I succeeded with Fireshot Pro, a nifty Firefox plugin, also available for IE. I hate the hassle having to do screen dumps in one way or another….
