In other words a blog maintained by a seller of Early American and Mid Century furniture who can be found at the Brooklyn Flea market regularly. I believe this is an excellent way of promoting your business simple and cost effectively on the World Wide Web.
I owe the author, Kyle Garner, this one, as he had chair blog in his blogroll quite some time now.
The photo shows a slat seat and back chair on a metal base by Arthur Umanoff for Raymor. Which he sells for US $ 100.-
Added: Not long after I posted this the color of the photo changed which means the chair has been sold:-)
Update: The Sit and Read Furniture Blog has ceased operation. It is replaced by a site Sit and Read

Composite Bench by El Ultimo Grito Runner up for Brit Insurance
El Ultimo Grito’s Composite bench system for UNO was nominated for the Brit Insurance Furniture Award 2009
“It is very hard to come up with a new typology in furniture and more often than not the result remains very strongly in the realm of a suggestion to rethink existing options, but rarely does a new configuration present itself as a useful addition to the family of furniture. The composite bench/sofa does so by merging the bench height table structure with elements of upholstery.”

Cologne Design Festival 2009 – Jennifer Heier – Relegs Chair
As part of the d3 design talents at the IMM in Cologne, Jennifer Heier demonstrates her Relegs Chair – a chair that can be used in two different positions, either as an ordinary chair or as a recliner. The idea for the design was to create a chair which reflected the idiomatic expression “to go down on bended knees”. Before the user can rest comfortably the chair has to kneel down. Users as masters and furniture as servants?
