    Come in and sit a spell.

    Do you have a favorite chair? Have you ever thought that your chair preference is a reflection of your culture and a long history? Certainly I can’t imagine my life without chairs of some sort, especially since I spend most of my day perched on my HAG Capisco chair! I’ve been curious about interesting chairs for some time, maybe because I’ve been on many a chair hunt for client project over the years.

    Spaces designed for really real people!

    How many times have you picked up a snazzy home-design magazine, drooled over images of perfect-upon-perfect rooms, and wondered if there had ever been any people present? We love to see pages and pages of gorgeous rooms full of great paint colors, super sofas, cool light fixtures, fabulous art, etc. But … invariably there is never a person in sight (for any number of reasons, including privacy concerns).

    The tyranny of design trends
