The Chair With Individuality
Have you thought of a boudoir or bedroom chair that is entirely your own-designed or chosen by you-expressing and representing your taste? No matter how charming your "suite" may’ be, just this one odd and individual article of furniture will give your room an individual air and announce you to your guests as a person of independent tastes. Besides which, there is the fun of having a hand in its construction, upholstery and colour scheme. It can be the little companionable chair that stands at your bedside-the restful chair that fills your wide window space-or the flattering one that receives you before your mirror. In each and all cases it must show original lines that, at the same time, do not quarrel with those already in the room’s furnishings. I have drawn for you one in a highly glossed wood of silvery grey-green. It is curved for comfort, and the seat is a simply swung canvas. This wider cover is dark plum on cream. The accompanying cushion with its looped ends to secure it in
place if required, is covered in cream, bordered in plum and in amethyst. The small extra expense that the making of such ati article would entail well repays one in pleasure and satisfaction.
