Winter Project: Chair in Real Life

Look at that glorious site: a young professional, hard at work and looking oh so dashing in his new office chair. My husband may or may not have deleted this photo so I wouldn’t post it, but that’s beside the point. We finally purchased a new chair for our home office and I think this picture speaks volumes for how much this chair was needed. Just look at that comfort and pleasant working environment!

As you all are well aware, our previous office chair was a piece o’ crap – to put it mildly. Since my husband is now a full-time work-from-home type, we took the plunge and purchased a much nicer chair to support his back and derriere for the long work week. After much consideration, we decided that this office chair was the perfect mix of classic design and affordability. We decided to put a bit more money into this purchase since it is something that will hopefully last a very long time, due to its quality and design.

Just look at those sweet chrome details! We opted not to add the sleek chrome arms on at this point since Scott is a “lounge worker” – meaning, he likes to prop his legs up and sit in all sorts of awkward positions all day. The beauty of this chair is that it looks just dandy with or without the arms – bonus!

My favorite detail of this chair is the horizontal bar along the back, that closely mimics the classic Eames design. Plus its easy to move the chair around without getting greasy fingers on the snazzy leatha.

So our winter project is still going well into Spring and we’re not quite to the finish line yet. But this chair puts us just a few yards out of the finish line and we’re super excited with the end result. Scott said “it’s so comfortable” after his first day, so I consider that a win win. Thoughts on the new chair?
