And Some French Contemporary Design, Too

Another piece that made the transatlantic journey with us is my favorite chair.  I first spotted it soon after we arrived in Paris and it was love at first sight. I thought it would pass so I resisted buying it on the spot.  But as the months passed, it became clear: this love was here to stay.  In our Paris apartment, it was the only pop of color so it was a real statement piece. It sits in an entirely different setting now and I think it works equally well in both.
