Sixties Low Armchair

Posted on | Leave a comment

Sixtieslowchair 
 
Not a close a copy of the Bertoia Diamond armchair like the Dwell chair, but perhaps still influenced by it, is this Sixties Low Armchair by Frédéric Sofia.

Whereas the Diamond Chair is made from wire, the seat here is made from a resin polymer weave, which may be a little more comfortable. The colour choices for the chair are interesting; Savanna frame with Lichen seat (green shades), Aubergine frame with Gum Pink seat or the shades of grey pictured here.

The chair costs £201 from Made in Design.

Vintage floral
Though it's definitely still Winter out there, Spring is beginning to filter into shops, in the form of new collections at least. Marks and Spencer's new collection includes some bright florals, including this 'vintage' flower throw. 

Decorated with clusters of blooms, though not vintage, it's definitely got a homely feel and could help make a cosy and stylish bedroom for generations to come. Made from cotton with a polyester fill, this throw (and the rest of the accompany collection) will be perfect for welcoming Spring when it finally does come. 

The throw costs £125.

It is available to buy from Dot Maison, priced £1,736.
