This unphotogenic 1965 design is the best selling executive chair ever. For good reason. It is comfortable and makes you feel important. Vintage 4 point chairs (have 4 wheels); re-release has required 5 points, but not as pretty. You can buy re-release in lots of colors from hive.

i like paintings with a lot of paint (as well as all the usual things that need to be there). Neil Shigley’s are deep.

i really, really, really should have bought this one.
