A piece of seating that simply screams its era – the Geoffrey Harcourt Chaise Longue. That space age look isn't inspired by a bygone era, it's from a bygone era – 1970 to be precise. Yet it still looks years ahead of its time. What else can you say? Well, that foam padding should provide you with a great place to nap during that day and there's a wide choice of fabrics available to fit your interior. And if it doesn't fit, just wheel it into another room.

Northome at the Met
Northome at the Met wright-chair. The Metropolitan Museum in Manhattan can’t really be said to have anything on display that is not a highlight. However, one of my personal favorite parts of the museum is the Frank Lloyd Wright room, a re-creation of the living room at Northome, formerly of Wayzata, Minnesota. The Met’s reassembled room contains some beautiful pieces of Wright-designed furniture, including in ingenious collapsable print table and a pair of chairs that seem to be Wright’s update of the Roycroft aesthetic. Recently, the met added an excellent virtual tour of the room to their website.
