Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
the lady seated in a chair or draped on a sofa
I looove beautiful ladies. They are frequently used to advertise chairs. Not for nothing have I coined a category here on the blog Chairchez La Femme thereby abusing the French “chercher” which means “to seek”, to express “look for the lady”, “look at the lady” or even maybe “watch out for the lady” …rather than the chair;-)
Britney Spear (ab)uses an Emeco Navy chair extensively in a recent video clip of her song Stronger. What better promotion can a chair manufacturer whish?
Thank you Jan

I know, like many men I can get distracted easily and like many men I’m not very good in multitasking. After a period of extensively editing Chairblog, other projects asked for my attention and I realized I didn’t post for a whole week here, because I – and many newsletter subscribers with me – didn’t get a newsletter today…
I had this photo of Charlize Theron lying around somewhere between my to publish stacks for quite some time. I probably found it at Starophile a French site of star lovers and I couldn’t resist publishing it here.
Geraldine Husson has a particular view on chairs and seatings. Dress yourself in one of her dresses and you are dressed to sit.
