Beautiful chairs that look like beautiful dresses





I've always had a thing for statement chairs that are beautifully crafted and designed, and the limited edition Alexander Mc Queen egg chair above is no exception. It also struck me however, that a lot of the pieces that i am drawn to in the furniture world, also remind me of runway looks from over the years.

Take the chair above for example, and the look from Gareth Pugh below, and they kinda sorta resemble each other.

Here's a few more fashion and furniture pairings that sprang to my mind;
This 'Eames Chaise' by designers Ray/Charles Eames in 1948.......



.........and the gorgeous white jersey cut out dress from a Gucci, mid 90s Tom Ford season.



The 'womb chair' designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948.........




......... and of course Jil Sander dress from the Fall 2009 collection.

Of course I could go on, and, on, but i will spare any readers the pain of listening to the thoughts from my fashion obsessed brain. I'm not sure if its just me, but fashion inspiration seems to be coming at me from all angles at the moment. Let's hope it continues into the new year at least.
