This beautiful, design-classic brass wire chair £325 from Rose & Grey is incredible.

An amazing investment as a set round a dining table or use a single as a office chair to make a study extra stylish.

We’d love it against an interior using dark navy or green walls with marble surfaces and some dashes of blush pink in accessories. It would also work well with an industrial trend inspired interior.

Can be used with a sheep skin cushion (sold separately) as shown or other seating pad.

We love a well designed chair, especially when it comes in various colour options. The Whistler dining chair from John Lewis with its polypropylene shell and upholstered seat pad looks great and gives a nod to old stackable school chairs from the 80s.

Mix and match the colours, or mix with other styles of chair around your dining table. The other bonus is that these chairs are only £99 each!

home: trend [ curve appeal ] 

Give your home ‘curve appeal’, soften those edges, bring circular and rounded patterns and silhouettes into an interior to create a calm feel and modern design look.

Introduce the circular design in fabrics, wallpapers and other patterned soft furnishings, or try curves in furniture – rounded tables, soft cornered shelving, and moulded smooth plastic furniture. 

Look for inspiration from midcentury interiors and 1960s styling but give it a modern look by minimising too many bright colours and not clashing too many patterns. Furniture in plywood and plastic are always strong for curved silhouettes. Head to print stores like King & Mcgaw and Seventy Tree for extra details in your styling by introducing prints with circle patterns and colours that match your scheme.

More chair love this week after we spotted these wire chairs in Graham & Green. The fifties inspied design has a contemporary edge with the black and brass wire finish.

Available as a dining chair or armchair they will definitely make a statement in your home. A good chair should not only essentially be comfortable, but needs to have a great design. These examples tick all the boxes.
