why the klismos chair has stood the test of time

Fads come and go but a true classic will stand the test of time. Decor is much like fashion in the sense that each year there are new must-have items and lust-worthy color trends with which to update your home. But like fashion trends, they change yearly, and something you may have purchased last fall might be totally hideous to you by June of the next year. That is why we don’t mess with trendy clothing or decor; we make investments in classic pieces that we know will last a lifetime.

Many of the pieces we carry in our store are timeless classics, but there is one chair in particular that stands out from the crowd. The Klismos chair is a perfect example of the understated elegance that we are speaking of. Ancient Greece can be credited with the birth of the Klismos chair, with its revolutionarily curving legs and comfortable arched s-shaped back. The styling is both impeccable, incredibly playful and has been said to be one of the most influential and successful furniture designs of all time.

We aren’t the only ones raving about the Klismos chair. In its May issue, Elle Decor Magazine did a spread on the statement chairs, and we were excited to see our very own Klismos chairs in the article. So if you are looking for a new set of dining room chairs, desk or vanity chair that will stand the test of time, you may have just found your perfect match.
