A well designed object



     I find this 1940s wing chair to be beautifully designed because it is both a visually appealing chair, as well as, a versatile piece of furniture. The chair possesses a nice balance between modern and traditional style. The Queen Anne influence, with both the cabriole legs and the pad feet, give the chair a sense of elegance. The elaborate black and cream damask pattern provides an up-to-date appearance, as well as, provides an instant feeling of luxury. Detailed black nail-head trimming frames the front arms of the chair giving it a polished look.
    Depending on the decor of the room, the chair can provide either an elegant or an edgy feel. Like a blank palette, the black and cream color scheme allows the designer the option to choose bolder wall colors if desired. The fabrics neutral color scheme also allows the designer to coordinate the room easily by simply using matching or similar bits of color throughout the room such as throw pillow, blankets, rugs,etc. Moreover, the Waverly Essence Sun N Shade is an indoor/outdoor fabric which provides even more versatility.
     Of course, because U refurbished the chair myself, I may be a bit partial to the design of the chair!

  1. Nice connection to the chair and it's details. While we know that this is a personal blog post for this assignment we would suggest a more neutral point of view in your writing style of objects. Good job in the developing of your own "voice."
